Thanks for all your work!

Just one correction: Brownie Craft & Tinker is missing step 3, “Figure out the function.”

The next correction is my mistake: Brownie Art and Design should be

  1. Explore art and design
  2. Experiment with the elements
  3. Learn about composition
  4. Make art about a subject
  5. Share your artwork
