A Summer Fun Lesson in Art: Abstract Expressionism 

"Kool Summer Fun #1" By the kids of Aimee @ Classified: Mom

There is so much to learn about the world of art. For the young, making art is simple to them. There are no rules, no restrictions- simply the pleasure of creation is at their fingertips. Many artists have tried to convert to the simplest, spontaneous form in their own artwork.

You are my Sunshine- A Craft about Feelings

It's Summer- the sun is shinning, the days are longer- and, oh wait- kids are still kids. Long busy days, mixed in with heat can lead into the occasional (or if you're in my house it's x3) melt downs! We discussed feelings, what they may "look" like, we read a few stories and then put our research to work!
