This is a blog about kids and art. We have enormous fun in our classes. We learn along the journey with art... we learn about art and what it is and we explore those artisits who have gone before us. I work from the premise that ALL people can learn how to draw. I hope you feel inspired by some of these ideas just as you have inspired us in some of the projects we have taken on.

Yayoi Kusama inspired us.
The japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama is both intriguing and inspiring in her work. Her story shares the journey of stuggling with mental wellbeing, along a pth of many well known artist. She is a painter but works with sculpture , film fashion and poetry. Her creative mind touches all she seets her mind to. She was born in 1229 and is 92 years old and still she continues to create.
These are from our gallery of art.
The children spent some time learning about some of Yayoi Kusama's work focusing on her interesting dot work on flowers and mushrooms. We chose to work with her idea of muchrooms.
This is a video by South African artist Lillian Gray where she explores more about Yayoi Kusama.
