Just like my homeschool lessons or in-person lessons, I like to ask questions as I guide the students through activities.

We started a weekly artist study. I set out materials to start the day with art and it set the tone for lessons the rest of the week. I found ways to incorporate more hand-on active learning during history and read loud. Thanks to @blossomandroot for creating preparing a diverse group of artists to study.
