I was hired by the Tempe Studio Artist Program to give my "Power Words" workshop to Tempe 4th and 5th graders. Although they had no experience with art making, they smiled frequently while making their paintings using stenciled, positive words which described their personalities. I taught them to think more independently by self-evaluating their art work using key questions I use in my own work. I watched them easily coaching each other after they learned this simple technique.
