Teaching Artist Proposals

Image of two children at a craft table. One child is sitting at the table and the other is standing. The sitting child is holding a pencil in one hand and is holding a paper steady of the table with the other. The standing child is holding a piece of paper with one hand. An instructor is gesturing towards the paper in the standing child's hand while both children are turned to listen to the instructor's comments. Also on the craft table is a large clear container of crayons, a blue container, three red cups filled with markers, and a sign that reads "Community Wings A Collaborative Art Project".
