Art education. Most of us want our children to grow up appreciating good art.
We take them to museums, talk to them about the Impressionists and Dada-ism, and show them our favorite paintings. Still, many kids insist that a huge poster of Dora the Explorer or Thomas the Tank Engine is more their style (or in our son's case, a picture of a yellow dump truck).
Then we happen across an artist whose work appeals to children and that we find attractive as well.
A perfect example is artist Lorena Siminovich.






I love love love her work. She also did the illustrations for several puzzle/card sets put out by mudpuppy (gallison)...link to my favorite set in my name.
So adorable. My daughter is learning her ABCs at preschool and her class constructed owls much like to top picture to learn O. I am framing it!
