“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” – Edgar Degas 

Part 1 - Pastel Drawing
 

A world pure and pristine to the young,
in their mind, soul, and heart; 
move over cellphone, loafing and mall;
welcome to the world of art.

“Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.” – Jackson Pollock 

 

Hands-on, on-site school of learning,
nature's  landscape and garden,
river, lake, mountain, valley and sea,
re-creation of the lost Eden. 

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
 – Thomas Merton
 
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” – Pablo Picasso 

Goodness and kindness earned through art,
these children shall grow up with a heart,
to live a brighter life with compassion,
 love, friendship, and determination. 
 
Part 2 - Acrylic painting
 

Unity, Cooperation, Integration -
trilogy of art in our troubled world;
progeny of the French Revolution:
Fraternity, Equality, Liberty;
Globalization is too vague a word.

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” – Vincent Van Gogh ~
