I got to hear some opinions from exactly the people I care most about hearing from on the topic off my book.
I have always enjoyed the point of view of children. When I used to teach, my favorite lessons were inspired by famous artists from history. I noticed that the younger the grade, the more profound their comments. Kids embraced all styles and were especially receptive to abstract art. I really wish they taught more art history in elementary school. They are sponges, interested and thoughtful and can fully grasp the emotional elements of art.
Plus they are quick to learn. I taught grades 1-5 how to breathe consciously and how to make butterfly neuro graphic drawings plus shared my book in only forty-five minutes. I love this about kids. Get them a little interested and the speed of their minds is impressive.
One of my favorite pictures is the one with the kids holding one of my paintings discussing the illustrations They remind me of mini art collectors.
Once I taught a lesson about the painting Whistler’s Mother to first graders. I will never forget the compassion these 5 and 6 year olds had for the woman in this painting.

kids listen….but their questions are never held back by a worry of being embarrassed, or if it’s a smart question….their instant.

I saw the funniest cartoon the other day… a kid’s art assignment is “draw your family.” Teacher looks at one kid’s drawing… they’re all being hanged with thick rope and their eyes are popping out. She calls the parents, they come in… “Can you explain this?” “Sure… it’s us snorkeling in the Bahamas this summer.” 😂

Kids! I once had to watch over an assignment where kids drew their favorite place.
A first grader drew a building that looked exactly like Hooters. Color, shape etc. He couldn’t spell so the sign just had an H on it. Sure enough, when I asked, that was his favorite place to go with his dad.
