I found a charred piece of firewood embers on the beach that looks like a carved mask. It has an intricate wave pattern and two oval pits for eyes leading me to wonder, who was carving the mask and who is it for?

HOMESCHOOL

An art project for home schooling. Gather flowers and other natural textures, put on paint, press and reveal! The kids enjoyed this, as well as making textile and patterns from the natural sources.

Encouraging your child to be more artistic involves creating a supportive environment that fosters creativity and exploration. Here are some tips to help your child develop their artistic abilities:

Provide a Variety of Art Supplies: Offer a diverse range of art materials such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, paints, clay, and craft supplies. Having access to different tools allows your child to experiment with various mediums.

Set Up a Creative Space: Dedicate a space in your home for artistic activities. Ensure it's well-lit and stocked with art supplies, making it easy for your child to engage in creative projects whenever inspiration strikes.

Participate in Art Together: Join your child in art activities. Collaborative projects can be both enjoyable and educational, and it gives you the opportunity to share the creative process with your child.

Encourage Free Expression: Avoid imposing strict guidelines on how your child should create. Allow them the freedom to express themselves in their unique way. This helps build confidence and a love for the artistic process.

Expose Them to Various Art Forms: Introduce your child to different forms of art, including painting, drawing, sculpture, music, dance, and literature. Visiting museums, galleries, or attending live performances can broaden their artistic horizons.

Celebrate Their Artwork: Display your child's creations prominently, whether it's on the fridge or a designated art wall. Celebrate their efforts and achievements, creating a positive association with artistic expression.

Ask Open-Ended Questions: Instead of asking if a drawing represents something specific, inquire about their creative choices. Ask open-ended questions to encourage them to share their thoughts and ideas about their artwork.

Support Their Unique Style: Every child has a unique artistic style. Encourage and support their individuality rather than comparing their work to others. Help them understand that art is a personal form of expression.

Introduce Art History and Famous Artists: Share stories about famous artists and their works. Learning about the history of art can inspire your child and expose them to different techniques and styles.

Enroll in Art Classes or Workshops: If your child shows a keen interest, consider enrolling them in art classes or workshops. This provides structured learning and exposes them to different techniques under the guidance of an instructor.

Remember, the key is to create a positive and open environment where your child feels encouraged to explore their creativity without fear of judgment.
