Creativity is
inventing,
experimenting,
growing,
taking risks,
breaking rules,
making mistakes,
and
having fun.

Monday will begin week 7 of teaching art camp at The Wizard of Art this summer. As usual, it's been a bit of a wild ride. Some weeks are pretty calm and others have had a bit of a circus vibe. My favorite thing about it by far, is seeing the pride that the kids have in there work - especially when they exceed their their own expectations and surprise themselves.
Here is a sampling of some of the kids this summer.

Good evening dear fellow thespian and artist!
Thank you for coming by and leaving a comment; it is so wonderful to see these kids CREATING. I saw a quote once that said, "Perhaps CREATIVITY is INTELLIGENCE having fun." But of course!!!! As a teacher, nothing makes me more excited as to see my students get creative in all subjects, even with math.....EINSTEIN, my favorite was a child with a genius brain who never lost the wonder of creativity in pushing the envelope of his inquiries and the science of his observations!
KEEP CREATING DEAREST!!! Anita
WOW! Those kids are chock-full-of-talent! Their art is so lively and free. Fabulous. You must be so thrilled watching them develop into the artists they are.
Love the TeePee and Cats....VERY talented kids.....or teachers : ) Looks like fun! Keep up the good work!
The talent of these kids is truly magical...their faces show it as does their work! I'm always filled with joy when I see what comes from the innocent and pure.
It's almost as magical as our syncronicity! So funny!!! Here's to nieces!
Great works!
These kids are really talented. They have created magical works and all of the paintings are very imaginative.
Kids are not a bit inhibited and are naturally creative. It sounds like art camp is excellent fun! ;-)
Very nice pictures and little artists! I hope they will have great success in life, in art or not. Good sunday, Arianna!
Love seeing all the kids art! Glad I found this site - thanks for sharing.
Love the expressions on the faces...very happy artists...

Made my day to see these photos of the children and their creations!
Adding to the great quotes above:
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." Albert Einstein
