Saturday, January 31st is “Inspire Your Heart with Art Day”. This is a day to celebrate the art around us and how it makes us feel. Maybe you could go to a local art museum. Or, you could stay home and create your own art gallery; have your children paint pictures or make sculptures out of modeling clay. Don’t forget to capture your thoughts and feelings about the day. What piece of art spoke to you, made you feel something? Find postcards in the museum shop of the pieces that really touched your heart. Take pictures of your kids and their creations. Make a layout about this day. Or, if you have lots of pictures and art pieces (like your children’s art gallery), make a mini album to celebrate, and don’t forget to include their feelings and interpretations of the art.
Have fun, enjoy and open your eyes to the art around you. I’ll share with you next week what my daughter, Molly, and I decided to do.
