The children have been painting pictures for our exhibit
entitled "Petite Picassos".
Painting is an activity that is both fun and educational for children.
Through painting they can express their ideas and emotions, they can use their senses,
explore color, trail and error, cause and effect and boost self pride.
Pictures are also the beginning of literacy. It is through pictures that stories emerge.
The paintings the children created for the show will be on display at the
Hendrick Hudson Free Library
for the entire month of February
during library hours.
The reception was on
Sunday, Feburary 5, and was absolutely wonderful!
Thank you all for stopping by. It was so touching to see how
proud they were! Pictures will be up next week.
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
-Pablo Picasso
