Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I've discovered quite a nice beginning art series for "the young at art".

The starting art series 1 2 3 I Can from Kids Can Press.

I picked up the 1 2 3 I Can Paint! book and found it simple,straight-forward, inspiring and educational.

It starts by listing supplies (tempera or acrylic paint), goes through six simple projects which are both doable for young children and teach basic art concepts, ending with a big project putting everything together plus ideas for the parent/teacher on going further.

As someone who is "young at art" I'm looking forward to trying these projects.

The series also includes
1 2 3 I can build! (making structures out of household materials)

1 2 3 I can Collage!

1 2 3 I can Draw!

1 2 3 I can make Prints!

1 2 3 I can Sculpt! (using everyday materials to make 3-D animals)

Thanks for the heads-up on these. My library has a few of them and I put them on hold just now.

God bless,
Christine
