To me, in my experiences as a mother with kindergartens, schools, and Art lessons, Art with kids is typically limited to the primary colors and fingerpaint, childish bear-motifs and centuries-old coloring pages, paired with scissor-practices that are way too simple and boring.

The results of teaching Art like that? Well, let´s say the Art Works have sentimental value, but further than that, they often aren’t particularly eye-pleasing tbh… Also, we, as parents and caregivers, tend to limit the possibilities of being creative for our little ones, because it´s US that have to clean up all of the mess after all – GLITTER, glue, paper everywhere, paint on the walls… it´s a (glittery) nightmare!

But kids are capable of so much more than that. Creators by heart, their imagination knows no limits.They come up with the weirdest, most unexpected solutions to problems we never even knew existed, and create stunning, unique and quirky art works that are remarkable! I´m stunned by their views andinterpretations of things and challenges, and I learn from them in every single class.

And this is exactly what I want to cherish and encourage with my lessons and workshops –for the kids to stay curious, dare to try out new things, and use their unique imagination and ideas to express themselves freely. As I mentioned above, Art is it´s own, universal language, and we can use Art to not only learn about Artists and Styles, or to develop new fine motor skills, we can also “learn” about emotions, diversity, challenges, problem solving, sticking together and helping each other…

I hope to be able to give children some tools to connect with themselves and others in a positive, joyful and colorful way. That´s my mission – let´s discover creativity together!
