A Comprehensive Workshop Designed for Montessori Educators Looking to Set Up a Dynamic Art Curriculum for the Preschool Child or Refresh Their Current Montessori Art Curriculum
How about wearing an artist's beret and smock, while painting from an art palette?
Over the years, I have discovered that children are inherent artists who create museum-quality works of art, when they are given high quality, child-friendly tools and an inspiring environment in which to create.
Within the Montessori setting, there are wonderful art experiences built right into the everyday operation of the learning environment. I invite you to discover the world of Montessori Art for the Young Child and how you can create an engaging Arts program for your group.
