Children's Art Workshop: Painting and Drama

Of Brush and Colors

I am what my brush and colors take me, 

    to where the boundless world that be;

beyond the sky or in the depth of the sea 

    beyond the boundaries of what I see.   

Art Workshop 

To each his or her own now, and time to waste,
     if idleness in art means any less;
and growing up a matter of chase and haste,
     heed not, for the clay is still fresh.

Children's Art Exhibit

It's open house to view our children's art;
    Amazing!  And who wouldn't agree?
For the young fills something on our part,  
    We who were once talented and free.

Ribbon Cutting on Exhibit Day

Ritual we may say, or just ceremony,
     Cheap on today's print or TV;
It's all about money and personality.
     Save the young while still early.

Early Masterpieces 

When is pride humility?
Showing to the world beauty,
Handmade, and telling it good
As a good child really should.

Deities of Nature - A Drama Skit

Good spirits - they are deities of Nature,
     in forests, rivers, lakes and seas,
keepers of our land, air and water pure,
     night and day, at ease and peace.  

Best Artist Award

Single out the best, make them meek,
     with medals to wear and  keep;
that others may also strive to seek,
     what they have failed to reap.

Art Instructor
 (Author as organizer and art instructor)

Give me your children's gifted hands
     to hold the brush this summer;
and paint the glowing rainbow's bands
     that bring in a sudden shower;
make the canvas come alive from the sands
     of time, to a beautiful flower.

Workshop Graduation 

It's not an end, but a beginning,
From one chapter after another;
For life has no end or beginning,
In one's own lifetime to another.~
