I gathered from reading the posts that many of the members of this Forum teach art lessons. I've been asked to teach some young art students.

What priciples do you think should be taught in early lessons to children? What lessons should be taught to young teenagers that have had no art direction up to this point but draw and paint all the time.

What are some of the teachings that really helped you take control of your art. Who inspired you to be artists?

Does anyone have any good lesson plans they could share with me? Any feedback about any of these points would be greatly apprecitated. Thank you.
