No Art Class for Clarissa
Clarissa, Education June 25th, 2008
Belle’s
Just now was the 3rd time the girls attended the art class. Belle improves a lot but Clarissa is becoming more playful and restless. She ignored the teacher when she speaks to her! She did not follow instruction; colour according to her own liking; when the teacher or me is not looking she grabbed her favorite colour; purple and start colouring everything purple! She gets bored pretty fast if the space to colour with the same colour is quite wide.
Seeing how she responded to instruction, I can imagine how frustrated her kindy’s teachers might have felt teaching her. They did tell me once that she always want her own way and will cry if she can’t have her own way!
Will only send her to art class again once she shows interest in learning and obeying instruction.

Wow, Belle’s colouring is so nice. I like it so much. I think Belle has the talent for art. Keep up the good work, Belle!Yup, Miche, you’re right to stop Clarissa’s art class at this moment, think she’s too young to sit still/concentrate.

Wow! Belle’s work is beautiful. You are right to listen to Clarissa and stop it for now. Even if you were not to continue her classes it would be ok too. We always want to be fair to our kids and give them the same things but sometimes its not possible because they are different individuals so its best for us to be sensitive to their individual needs instead.

That so beautiful colouring! wow!
I think kids should be given their freedom to choose whatever colours they want…creativity ma..why sky must be blue? can it be red or yellow or even purple?? That’s what I learnt when my kids went for art lesson…
