Many times words are not enough. When children, or anyone for that matter, find it hard to express themselves, ART may be a better way of "saying" it. ART is a visual...clear and precise. The lessons in this book are designed specifically to direct the student to understand themselves more clearly; to explore their reality in a different way; to set visual goals; to see their own progress; and to appreciate their differences. I already hear some of you saying, "I'm NOT an artist". Well, you don't have to be an artist to do these art lessons, just be open and willing to create. Art is NOT like math or science where there are right and wrong answers. It is a field of expression where the student has their own style and whatever they create is perfect. "There are NO mistakes in ART"...and because this is emphasized over and over again, my students feel free to express themselves through various mediums; explore their talents; and create without comparing their art with others around them. The result is VALUE. My students feel valuable!!!
