Violet got art done every week last year, partly because she enjoys it and partly because I had printed out lesson ideas ahead of time to assign or allow her choice of a project. Her only request for the year was to have some Harry Potter themed projects. Jessie did a few art lessons, but really didn't enjoy the projects from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. She told me up front that she would do the projects only because I was assigning them (which I took as a challenge). This year, I'd really like for her to find a way for her to enjoy art (and I did get the faintest glimmer of interest on showing her some of my project ideas). I've pulled ideas from the internet and Brooke's Drawing for Older Children & Teens. Here's a quick lesson overview for the year:
