i am so proud of my girls! they are all imaginative, bright, and confidently creative! we do art everyday…literally all the time…and while some the the traditional school disciplines may take the back seat, i have to say i feel so good about it! they love to express themselves and art is such a healthy and constructive way to do just that.
ok, so they may not know how to add, read or write (wink, they are actually super smart)…but it’ll be ok, because they will be the dreamers, the music makers, the inventors, and the explorers. my girls will learn how to climb mountains and then paint the sky!
they created these amazing pieces of art when given the phrase, “the world would be a better place if…” for an assignment and art contest.
here is their work:

“i believe the world would be a better place if people could plant and take care of trees instead of cutting them from forrest and rain forrest to build things like stores and large cities.”

sanctuary
“i believe the world would be a better place if people did not kill animals to eat. i think it’s bad to kill any animals. it hurts their feelings and they feel pain. i love animals because they are friends. they deserve the same love as a human gets.”

speak peace
“the world would be a better place if people expressed our feelings with our words instead of actions like angry actions and fighting. that is violence. those things would be better worked out with words.”

lions and tigers
“the world would be a better place if people would not be rude to tigers and hunt animals for taking thier fur.”
