Children and families and teachers went on a field trip to see the Art Show. Seeing is believing. It’s also loving, and empowering. In the words of fellow blogger Laura Bruno Lilly, these children are ‘heartists’ – artists with heart.
It took me a lifetime to learn to draw like a child.
Pablo Picasso
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
Claude Monet
Color is a power that directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard. The artist is the hand that plays.
Wassily Kandinsky
The painter has the universe in his mind and hands.
Leonardo da Vinci
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci
There are flowers for those who want to see them.

A Teacher's Reflections 
Oh this is so precious!

Always a joy to see how you love and inspire those children, Jennie. 🙂
You teach from the heart, and with deep feeling.

Words fail me. The little girl in the pink sweater says it all.
Aww… that’s so nice, Liz. Isn’t she a cutie? Thank you!
How special!! I’m sure the children were very proud.
They were very proud, indeed! Thank you, Darlene.

It was like visiting an art gallery. Yes, very cool!
Precious in every way.
Thank you so much, Flower!
What a wonderful experience for children to have. They will be very well rounded adults. It’s a delight to see their delight and joy.
Marlene, you use the words I want to say – well rounded. And isn’t that what we want children to become? I’m so glad you enjoyed this. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you!
Awesome post, quotes and pictures 😀👏

Great highlighting event for your artist lessons. They won’t forget this trip.
Thank you, Anneli. It was the frosting on the cake. 🙂

“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.” I love that one.
One of my favorites, Susanna. 🙂
Those lucky children are going to grow up curious and cultured after spending time in your classes Jennie 🙂
That would be a wonderful thing. Thank you, Debby. 🙂
Very nice Jennie.
Thank you!
Wonderful pictures and quotes, Jennie! 😄
I thought of you when I put up the Art Show, Sarah. So glad you liked It! 🙂
Wish I would live nearby to see it in person!
I do, too! Thanks, Sarah! 🙂
I lived Picasso’s quote, but I especially lived how you held the children in your arms. You’re wonderful.
That’s so nice, Steve. Thank you!
