Summary: Young Tommy could hardly wait for his very first art lesson. But when the day finally arrives, he is horrified when his art teacher asks the entire class to copy her drawings."Copy, COPY? Tommy knew that real artists didn't copy." In this autobiography, lively Tommy ends up teaching the adults what art is all about.
Suggested Activity: Splotch Painting

Children can tilt the paper in different directions to spread the spill if they like. Allow the organic shape to dry. The child can use his or her imagination to turn the shape into a picture or design.
