Teaching and planting creativity seeds in kids minds here is Cozad in the Spirit of Robert Henri

This morning was an early start and I thought I was only scheduled to teach in one class here at Cozad Elementary School, but I was mistaken and I was actually scheduled to teach in 6 classes! But I'm already ready for anything being a road tripper and plein air painter so we came through! classes are just 40 minutes and with a 10 minute "show and tell" of my art supplies before these are each about 20 minute paintings of kids ranging from kindergarten to 5th grade.
