Free Artistic Expression

Spontaneous drawing: E's man

E truly enjoys drawing things now but certainly does not coloring books. We have some coloring books leftover from his brother's younger years and he has never shown any interest in them. His brothers were the same way. Surely, that does not bother me one bit. I love that he uses his vivid, fertile imagination to utter his stories and draw pictures like this one. :-) He is a funny little fellow whom we all appreciate, enjoy, accept and love very much.


"Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible. No one can do more." -- Loris Malaguzzi (20th century), Italian early education specialist. Quoted in The Hundred Languages of Children, ch. 3, by Carolyn Edwards (1993).
