School is Back in Session

Well isn't it always, we are learning all the time. The kids learn art just by seeing colors in the sunset or seeing the way the light makes shadows on the wall. The way water in your paint water bowl reflects a wiggly pattern of light on the ceiling. I am a true believer in getting messy too. Give the kids paint, give the kids glue, give them space with no words or comments while they create. Learning can come from all the experiences we have, even when we are not in school or reading, just being, taking it all in. What colors can you notice today that you have never seen before?
