Encouraging the Artist in Every Child

Posted on April 27, 2011

Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” A quick glance around an African-American friend’s home recently showed me that he and many of his relatives have, delightfully, not grown up. At least, not in the way that concerned Picasso.

This was a home where important values were taught, including honesty, courage, and respect, and these same values could be seen on walls and pedestals around the house revealed in paint, pencil, fabric, wood, and stoneware, to name but a few of the media utilized in the work of so many creative family members, including the two children.

Everyone Loves MTM!

I first discovered MTM eight years ago at Legacy Prep Academy in Utah. I signed up to volunteer and I was blown away! It was simple, informative, and so much fun. The structure of the scripted lesson plans made it so easy to present to students. Art history, technique, creative inspiration, cultural literacy! All these things presented in a way that is fun and easy to retain. It is a joy for the students and the adults lucky enough to be teaching them!
