Creativity is Contagious. When you are passionate about what you do everyone around you catches the spark and wants to be a part of what is going on. Nowhere is this more true than when it applies to teaching.  Here at the Laughing Zebra our goal is to help fuel your passion with some creative ideas and out of the box art lessons. We love art history and how we can connect it to practicing art, and we believe it is a powerful way to inspire kids (and adults!), so most of the lessons you will find here are art history related. You will also find posts on Edna’s recommendations for supplies, other art related blogs, tips about teaching, and general artsy endeavors (because creativity spills over into every area of our lives)!

Edna Lemm is an art specialist living in Polson, MT. She’s the expert and the inspiration for this website and upcoming book.
