U Ken Do Art

Everyone can do art. By that, I mean that anyone can learn to express themselves visually. Of course, this takes some encouragement along with a judgment-free environment. I have received encouragement over the years and am here to give some back. I want to share my favorite experiences in art, trips to art museums, lesson plans, and projects from classes I've taught. Even if you don't do art on a regular basis, you can still appreciate it and learn how to talk about it with others.

About Me

My photo
UKenDoArt
I am a retired software engineer who is passionate about the visual arts. I continue to share this passion by teaching in elementary schools and at senior centers. I believe that anyone can be an artist. Art is the perfect integrator of other subjects and it's a shame that it is being removed from school curriculum.
