Twice a year, Miss L’s preschool holds Gallery Day to show off the artwork the kids have been making. I think it’s probably one of her favorite school events because my girl loves to “do art.” School. Home. In the car. Doesn’t matter.
I can’t say that I’m surprised. She’s been watching me make stuff pretty much since the day she was born. Her art supplies outnumber her toys by a healthy margin. Art is just part of life around here.
It’s always fun to see what she’s made at school, since I often see the side effects at carpool. Painty fingers, smears on clothes, animated excitement about that day’s work.
As much as I enjoy seeing footprint penguins and marshmallow sculptures, the thing I love most is seeing her love of creating grow. At 5, she is fearless in her choice of colors and media; there is nothing she won’t try. She’s completely uninhibited, willing to try anything and everything — and delighted with the results.

I’m loving it!! By the way, did you decide to look for an art class for her or to do things at home? We are looking at Easter projects right now and would love to know of any that you like.

How very fantastic! I adore children’s art and snatch all of my friends kids drawings…I mean, usually the ones they draw for me…I don’t go and steal things off their fridge or anything.

What a blessing it would be to be able to retain that “completely uninhibited, willing to try anything and everything — and delighted with the results”. But I think it’s my new goal in life!!
