Cohen’s interest in these vari- ous artistic perspectives can be traced back to the many arts and crafts projects she pursued with her family while growing up. As a college undergraduate, she dis- covered she also liked teaching, finishing with a double degree in visual arts and early childhood education.

Creating these lesson plans led her to the realization that the brightness and color of folk art and cloth- ing could be an effective starting point for teaching art to young children. This, in turn, affected her own art, which shifted from painting to quilting and then to knitting. Over time, as mother and daughter worked together on devising topics for homeschool- ing, Cohen began to use these lesson plans as components of the art courses for homeschool- ers she taught at the Commu- nity Center through Greenbelt Recreation. These included such themes as geometric patterning and botanical illustration, which incorporated slide presentations to introduce art terms, techniques and artist biographies.
