We first ask if the teachers use art in their lessons. After that we make a question list We write down the answers of every teacher. After that we think of what kind of lessons with art the teacher can give. We have to think too about how we still can learn from that subject, the teacher likes the lessons and that we like the lesson. We are just started and try if it works out well. Wish us luck!!!
