Children painting nature is freedom of creativity, joy of communing with nature, and recognizing nature as the greatest teacher and artist." - avr

 A Field of Flowers and Blue Butterflies by Hannah Laurente, 12

Flowers, flowers everywhere, I am blessed;

how I wish beyond the horizon it's the same,

where Paradise is regained, as sages said;

take me to it and I shall paint it on frame.

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere." – Vincent Van Gogh

Twin Waterfalls by Harris Laurente, 9

Roar, hiss, and whistle all day long,

over the cliff and down the stream;

it is here where I wish to belong,

to live in reverence and to dream. 

"Every child is an artist; the problem is staying an artist 

when you grow up.."  – Pablo Picasso

  

Siblings Hannah and Harris proudly presents their paintings. 

Art is not just competition, but cooperation

 with those of the same thoughts and illusion.

 

"Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.":

 – John Ruskin

“We have art in order not to die of life.” ~Albert Camus

"I am a connection of the scenes of nature,

of the old, new and upcoming generation;

past and present, as foreseen in the future. 

peace and beauty. I'm a guardian of creation."

-                                                                                         - AV Rotor, Art Teacher

Imagination is as important as reason, I must say,

more so to the young, and those young at heart,

for creativity takes us away and stray

to where we are free and happy.  

Hurrah, indeed to art!

"Children have neither a past nor a future. 

Thus, they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.":

 – Jean de La Bruyère

Red Flowers by Princess, 8 and Kean 9

"Let nature be your teacher.": – William Wordsworth

Neither we're too young nor too old for art.

prodigies and late bloomers are not apart;

art knows no end even after we depart;

everything we do in life, in fact, is art.

Nature welcomes the lovers of beauty and humanity,

her ways the best guide to our actions and destiny. 

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” – Rachel Carson
