Cassandra's Overview Teaching Approach:
Cassandra loves teaching art and helping children create the art that lives in their imagination! All Cassandra's art programs are integrated with literature, language, history, and information about artists from all over the world. She has a fluid and flexible approach to teaching art. Each class begins with circle time, where children learn about the topic for that project and how to use fun new art materials. Cassandra sets aside most of the class time for making art at work tables or outside.
