Overall, I feel like the kids' art class was a smashing success. It was a 90 minute class and I quickly realized that these cute kids needed a recess or two as we did different projects. We fit in about 3 projects per class. By the end, we took steps developing some greater skills and practicing perspective.
One think that I think is really important is letting the kids do the artwork on their own, even if it's wrong and doesn't look "cute." This is an exploration class. Just guide them as you can, push them, but then let kids be themselves. And then those younger kids sometimes make up their own methods, but are having the time of their lives.
