I worked with Bonny Beth when she worked at the Waterworks Art outreach program.  She was very enthusiastic and excited about coming into the schools and working with the students.  The kids couldn't wait for art day. She had a good rapport with the students. She told them what was expected for the project, but let them put their own spin on the project.  She would try to coordinate her art projects with what we were studying if possible. For example, we studied Native American history she had us make rain sticks and dream catchers. Not only did she teach art but she incorporated art history. She always gave a little lesson on an artist that went with the art lesson. The students learned a great deal from her.
