Student Art: Ruby Holler


Have I said how much I 
LOVE
student artwork?

Love
love 
love
it.

A privileged glimpse
inside their heads.

Such gifts!

  3. Comment ne pas aimer ?!... J'ai donner des cours de dessins aux enfants durant de longues années au conservatoire... Ils sont tous des artistes.

    Gros bisous et bonne fin de semaine.

  4. Those are treasures :) I have some from a 1st grade class that I substituted once. They gave me a really hard time and then were sorry for it.

  5. Art is such a great connection to literature, and students are creative and imagination with plenty of surprises as they illustrate what is important to them.

  7. Oh yes, oh yes!! And of course, the inspiration of your writing adds so much delight! I feel very lucky that my main profession in life was elementary art teacher, (& I still do present workshops, but now, most often linking children's literature & art. Other main profession: in children's rooms of public libraries) So, yes!

  8. It is wonderful when children are given the chance to respond this way to words and emotions. They need to know how much those responses are valued by the authors, too.
