NOODLE CLASSES HELP KIDS LOCATE, NAVIGATE AND EXPAND THEIR ARTISTIC POTENTIAL. MY PROJECTS ARE OPEN-ENDED MEANING I ALLOW MY STUDENTS TO INTERPRET MY LESSON IN A WAY THAT FEELS AUTHENTIC TO THEM. I INTRODUCE THE PROJECT, NEVER SHOWING IMAGES OF HOW ANYTHING COULD OR SHOULD LOOK AND TOGETHER WE GROW THROUGH THE PROCESS.
CELEBRATING THEIR WILLINGNESS TO TRY SOMETHING NEW EMPOWERS THEM TO APPROACH EACH LESSON WITH CONFIDENCE. FEARLESSLY THEY DIVE INTO POTATO PRINTMAKING, DALE CHIHULY (AMERICAN GLASS ARTIST) INSPIRED SHRINKY DINKS AND SEAMLESSLY FLOW FROM PAINTING TEXTURE WITH NATURAL OBJECTS TO PAINTING THE TEXTURES OF NATURAL OBJECTS.
NOODLE ALLOWS STUDENTS TO RECOGNIZE THEY CAN ABSOLUTELY BE AN ARTIST, AN ASTRONAUT OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN.
