More on Art

Under the Spell of the Moon is a beautiful read-aloud art book created for children by the world's greatest picture-book illustrators. Some of the featured artists in this book are Quentin Blake, Mitsumasa Anno, Anthony Browne, Rosemary Wells, and others. These mentioned artists are some of my favourites.

I create art works through my students by exploring different styles and techniques of doing art and works of different artists. Right now, we have started making an ABC art book based on paintings made by famous artists. We have Picasso, Klee, VanGogh, or Marc to study. It is very rewarding as art becomes a form of creative expression not just of the mind but also of the spirit. 

We might not be artists in the real sense of the word but there is always a sense of creativity that flows among us.  It goes with the way we move or the way we dress up. It could be the manner of speech or the organized system in our lives. Art forms a part of our day by day living and it makes our environment a better looking place.

Artist or no artist, the beauty of creating something matters such as when we plant a seed, when we read a book, or when we create a fave dish to eat. So when we make ourselves artists in our own rights, we make ourselves whole as a person. We give something to this world.
