I remember years ago when acquaintances heard that I encouraged my children to paint—at home. They were stunned. “You Allow Your Children To Paint In Your House?!” They noted that they didn’t allow any paint in their house because their children would Make A Mess.
So all these years later I’m happy to report that our house survived—-and this is what you get when you furnish art materials to young’ens—-creativity wrapped up in a big swatch of love. So I encourage all parents to make many art materials available to their children. The only hazard is that you may swear off looking at any art found in museums & galleries—because nothing compares to art made by children.
Love.love. love it!
