The annual Art Show is up and running.  As always, the art is stellar.  Why?  Because I empower children.  I tell them, “You can do this!”  I show them works of art by the masters – slowly and purposefully.  I start with Starry Night, because it hangs in the classroom.  Then I move to Monet, Picasso, and more.

Can you imagine being a child, looking at significant art, and your teacher telling you, “You can do this?”  It’s enormous for children.

Of course music inspires art, and I bring in my record player and albums.  Children think this is the greatest new technology, so they pay attention and listen.  This year, Four Seasons by Vivaldi and Shout by the Isley Brothers were the big hits.  Don’t you love it?

We walked to the post office.

I showed children their art,
one child at a time.

This is a glimpse.  I hope you can scroll in on some works of art.  Of course children gave their ‘masterpiece’ a title.  Priceless!

They also wrote words to display alongside the art, a big challenge for 3 and 4 year olds.

This year we focused on impressionism, pointillism, cubism
(inspired by Picasso’s The Three Musicians)Also Piet MondrianAnd Henri Rousseau

And of course the Eiffel Tower,
since we learned about France.

Art is unspoken words, with heart.
