So neat that you do traditional art! I am a total paper and pencil person whee I recently started trying out apple pencils at the apple store, and quite liked it, though! It seemed intuitive and you might enjoy it too if you haven't tried it out already! 4laugh
It's neat that you taught at an art class! If the focus of the class is about fine arts, I suppose I can see why management would want to tweak the children's work and intervene to give pointers. I used to take a fine arts class with a private instructor for over a decade, and he would regularly come around and make some minor (or major, haha) corrections to student work. That's sort of how I learned from my mistakes and improved. However, I do personally feel that if the class is geared towards expressive art with the goal of enjoying the process of art-making or producing creative art, that children should have the freedom to make art as they wish. They should be able to do that without the teacher "correcting" what they make! I totally agree with you on that one.
