i got to spend a little time in my youngest little one's 1st grade classroom this week making art. i brought 11x13 canvas squares, paint, and a couple of large branches for weaving. it was a whirlwind of activity in 2 hours and such a blast! i showed them how to mask off a shape with masking tape, then paint all around it - then mark it up with sharpies afterward. then we strung them up onto yarn, making an art.flag banner. with a super organized, awesome teacher assisting - the event was fun fun fun! here is a little gallery for you of their art.flags:

All children are artists.

The problem is how

to remain an artist

once he grows up.

~Pablo Picasso
