Anniversary

I had a wonderful wedding Anniversary

Fostering Art in children and Adults as well
Years ago I read a home-school book that I got free from the library discard pile.
I didn’t like this book because it was poor for creative, and learning disabled children.
It’s way of teaching Art for preschoolers was just to show a photo of an art piece and then give a meaning for the piece. There was no room for the child’s own thoughts. There was no room for real play. The whole book was dull and often full of misinformation.
I think you foster art by making art yourself, then letting the children create. Museums are cool as well.

how do you foster art?
