Children Creating

Experiencing the artistic process, forges the paths that lead to other discoveries in all disciplines. It primes the mind for breakthroughs in science, literature, math, carpentry and cooking…

My eldest grandchild, Vivian, 10, was fascinated with creating art. Her interest has morphed into designing and building structures and writing books, for hours on end. Winona, 6, has always been and remains driven to paint and draw. Millie, 4, dabbles, but has a great sensibility and is adept at discerning images in random lines and shapes – pareidolia.

Together they run a Wildlife Refuge [Among other things, they compassionately capture and relocate Chipmunks from under our deck to the woods behind the house. My wildbirds thank you.] They sold their various art projects to grandparents, aunts and uncles, raising money for the care for  pygmy elephants, siberian tigers and the great white shark.

Teach your children explore art. It can lead to happy elephants.
