ART QUOTE FOR TODAY

3/17/2022

0 Comments

 
There's a quote by artist, David Hockney, that says, "The urge to draw must be deep within us because children love to do it" that made me think of my children's artistic curiosity. I couldn't agree more with this quote because my children, who are both different in their artistic journey, each show creativity and excitement when they are given a drawing resource or encouraged to draw something.

9/6/2021

0 Comments

 
Hi There! I wanted to share the many benefits of doodling and why it is important to encourage children to doodle. My daughter loves to doodle and this is why I wanted to write this post. Here are the 5 benefits (there are many more but I wanted to list my personal top 5):
  1. Outlet for creativity
  2. Promotes concentration
  3. Helps with anxiety/stress
  4. Develop problem solving skills
  5. Cultivate ideas

I hope that you are encourage to grab a pencil and paper and doodle yourself. Doodling is relaxing as there is no pressure to create any master pieces. It is an organic way of creating art and the exciting thing is that it is a stepping stone to an expanded idea.

NEW SCHOOL YEAR ALL ABOUT ME ARTIST CREATIVE PACK

8/31/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Hi Everyone! It has been awhile since my latest post. I have been taking this summer to really create products and I am having a blast. I truly enjoy creating resources that encourages drawing and art. It has been a joy. This month has been my best month in producing resources as well as sales at my TPT shop. Who would've thought that this is where my art endeavor took me! 

I homeschool my children and we started the school year in the beginning of August. I wanted a head start for us to catch up and review some of last year's curriculum. My goal for this school year is to start incorporating some of my own art resources in our learning as I think they are old enough.  I encourage each of you to find ways to add art to all subjects as I think children naturally gravitate to creating art. It engages them and truly build up their confidence. 

With this said check out my Back to School Artist Pack and have a blessed year!
