Objectives
The purpose of objectives is not to inhibit or restrain creativity in any way, but to ensure that the activity is focused clearly enough that both student and teacher know what is to be learned in the lesson. When objectives are met, your child is learning, without regard to the skill level or outcome of the art being produced!
