I define an artful activity as any that's full of art, beauty, and creativity. As parents, there are innumerable ways we can make our family life more artful. While painting,drawing and other traditional art-making methods are obvious choices, many other activities can also be considered artful:
* Trying out new science experiments. Creative thinking is encouraged by the act of experimenting
* Taking a Nature Walk. There is incredible beauty in the natural world: try observing the veins in leaves and the patterns on tree bark.
* Baking. Creating food from scratch is nourishing to the hands, heart and stomach.
* Planning a teddy bear tea party. Pretend play encourages imagination.
Just about anythibg is fair game for becoming artful if you approach it the right way.
You can invite art into your home with your actions, your words, your attitude, an the activities you offer. You can do it by having the space to do art, making art materials available, and introducing new concepts and activities. No matter how you do it, the advantages are profound.
That is why, in keeping with Creative Ways to Make Art, Falak Arts had its Outdoor Class: Plein Air Painting and Sketching. The children enjoyed sketching the sights that interested them the most., For most it was a new experience. Drawing outside is known as "plein Air"drawing. Literally translated, this French term means "in the open air" In the late 1800 when the Impressionists ventured out of their studios into nature to capture the effects of sunlight and other effects, it was quire revolutionary.
