My girl and her classmates drafted this Tribute To Art as a thank you at the end of the year to their art teacher. I love how each child so clearly showed their appreciation and how their unique personalities shined through. I have several years worth of my children's art from school stored away in huge folders; knowing how much it really means to them makes the keepsakes all the more precious.
A TRIBUTE TO ART
To Susan With gratitude
I love the feeling of stroking my paintbrush down the paper.
In art I love to set my imagination free.
Viva
I love making crazy colorful clowns and delicious ice cream
that makes your mouth water like Niagara Falls.
Sonali
Art is a soul trapped in a paintbrush.
Joey
Art is a place where everyone can express their feelings and
open up the locked door inside them where creativeness hides.
Art is a place where people can open their minds to ideas,
and free their imaginations.
Robin
I love tasting the flavors of my ice cream painting like the paper is my tongue.
Art is a kind of expression that is my dream come true.
I love being creative at art; all week long I have clouds of color and ideas drifting around my head waiting to come to life.

Art is like a mixing color land.
Eli
I loved the Russian churches with beautiful towers
with shining windows of gold and silver.
I loved the dragons soaring through the wind.
I loved those sundaes of mint, peach and nut.
I bet some clowns would take them, our Picassos and Monets
I LOVE ART, Susan!!!
