unicorn.
and in a tiny shop,
filled with delicate treats
ice cream, cookies, cakes, and sweets
who better to sell these lovely delights
than a shining unicorn-
so brave and full of light?

the most important thing people did for me was to expose me to new things. – temple grandin
our class went to see
nick cave’s art exhibit
up close and personal
sound suits
colors
swirls
dancing
textures
fun
then made
their own accessories
in his style
and
learned so much
about art having no boundaries
how things can look and sound and feel
art can be found in all kinds of places
and
most of all
that each of them are artists in their own right.

space is the breath of art. – frank lloyd wright
local skater boy
drives around
with his polar bear way up top
just like the north pole
i see him all over town
and
it makes everyone
who crosses paths with him
smile and turn or cheer or shake their heads
no one fails to react in some way
good or bad
isn’t that what the best art is meant to do?

the entertainment is in the presentation.

Anyone who says you can’t see a thought simply doesn’t know art. ~ Wynetka Ann Reynolds
we learned about artist frida kahlo and how she created images of herself,
with things that had meaning to her placed all around.
here, h shares her collage with our class,
and it shows us
that she loves flowers, animals, sweets, and celebrations of all kinds.
no words are needed to tell her story.

what a lucky find. while visiting my daughter in perth, australia i was delighted to discover that the friend we were meeting for tea was actually jenni, the artist behind the amazing world of art candy. jenni, modestly describes her work as, ‘sweetness with soul,’ and that is an understatement. i’ve admired her work online for quite a while, and am happy to know that others around the world have discovered her. jenni hand-makes unique cards, paintings, alphabets, and other magical delights. while there, i saw her works in progress and was even allowed a peek into her glitter drawer. it was an amazing morning spent with a wonderful, creative spirit. since art school, jenni has been inspired by a love of language, especially slang, colour, and a sheer exuberance for life. if you have a moment, take a peek into her work and her world, through the link i’ve provided. i think you’ll be delighted by what you find.
