Did you miss 'The Importance of Art in Schools', and Half Price Donuts? 🍩
Hello Reader
Why is Art Important in our Classrooms?
With Back to School season fast approaching, I thought you might find this topic of interest :-)
I’ve listed 10 reasons below, but in reality, the list is endless! I’m a great believer in the positive power of art on our mental well-being. Creativity is a fantastic vehicle for learning, communicating feelings, and exploring outside-of-the-box thinking.
I wonder….do kids feel more comfortable or free to express themselves in a deeper way via creating imagery rather than just using words?
You can download these handy free posters and read more over on my blog :-)
TOPIC 2: What are these half-price donuts? 🍩
As your summer break is likely to be coming to an end soon, I plan to share with you over the next five weeks, a series of half-price art activities. I hope these fun, print-and-go resources might help to help ease you back into the new school year, connect with your students in a creative way, and fill your classroom walls with colorful art!
Week One Offer: Pop Art Donuts 🍩 $3.50 now $1.75
This half-price offer runs Monday July 10th - Sunday July 16th.
Kids love to design their own donuts. This pattern-making doodle activity is a lighthearted icebreaker where the whole class can get involved, regardless of artistic ability!
If you are new to my work, you might like to scroll down to see a detailed preview and some happy teacher reviews:
Have a great week and see you again next Monday, with my Week 2 offer :-)
If you have any thoughts about why you feel art is important in your classroom, or at home, I would love to hear from you!
All the best,
Diane

Hello Reader I hope this summer grants you (and me!) a bit of space, some time to relax, get in the moment, stop doing, gaze into the distance, daydream, connect with loved ones..... Art can bring us into the present moment, like being in nature or with a good friend. One gift I'm proud to have shared throughout my kids' lives is my creativity. Here are some of those moments over the years when we made art together wherever we were, purely for joy. Home is where the heart is. Cardboard,...
