Today’s field trip highlights:
while we waited for their bus … I explained to a group of 8 year olds what the “death of an ego” meant based on a painting on the wall. They wanted to know why a sword is stabbing something.
Then they asked me why I do art so I told them that art helps me get emotions inside my body outside of my body, like if someone is mean to me and I don’t know how to talk about it I can paint how I feel, or if I love someone but it’s an emotion bigger than I have words for I can paint that too.
And my biggest highlight was watching the sensory avoidant kiddo conquer his challenges and make some cool art surrounded by his peers! At first he was alone and scared to join in! ❤️❤️❤️
I love what I do! And THIS is why I opened the PaintGround. We are so much more than a splatter studio
