Talking Art with kids

Be Yourself by Jude (8 year old)

A growing child's mind is very interesting, exquisitely curious, and full of wonder.


One of the positive aspects of being a mom is that I meet many kids thanks to my son Naman. Since Naman and I are very much involved in arts and crafts on a daily basis, any of his friends who come over automatically become part of our art fun day, making the whole process very enjoyable.

For me, it’s fascinating to watch these kids draw, play with colors, discuss ideas, and talk about their artwork while praising and appreciating each other's creations. One thing I’ve realized about art, or any activity you enjoy, is that you don’t have to be good at it to have fun.

After years of practicing art, I’ve come to understand that art isn’t just what you see; it’s what you explain, articulate, or represent, which is why it’s different for everyone.

Starry & Dreamy Night by Naman (8 year old)

I always ask Naman and his friends to explain to me what they mean and why they paint or draw what they do, and I’m amazed by their answers. It opens up new perspectives for me and channels of thought I hadn’t considered. This experience is very informative and educational for me. I’m sure the kids are learning a lot every day through these art activities, but as parents, what we can learn or revisit is truly extraordinary.

Two Friends Adventure by Naman (8 year old)

Naman described this drawing in great detail. It tells the story of two friends living in adjacent buildings in a Norwegian city. One evening, they went boating on the city river, unaware that it flowed into a waterfall. Suddenly, their boat plunged into the waterfall, landing them in a serene forest. Away from the city's noise, they found peace and calm. They enjoyed being in the forest and started exploring. The first thing they saw was a reindeer. It’s a story of two friends having an adventure.


It would be amazing if kids started communicating through postcards and art instead of using other media.

Colors have a soothing effect on everyone, but especially on children.

Talk to kids about their art, and you'll be amazed.
