All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. - Pablo Picasso

Zz Zhang Daqian
Today we talked about the Chinese artist Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) who made lovely paintings of birds. We made our own Zhang Daqian birds today. They turned out super cute! Ok, so they aren't very Chinese looking, but they came from Oriental Trading, so that's worth something right?
The Studio is a highly academic preschool with a strong emphasis on art and reading. We focus on a letter a week, and start reading from day one. Every day, we do creative projects based on an artistic style, medium, method, or a specific artist that is centered around the week's letter. Even our snacks are determined by the letter of the week as are our social studies, science, and math skills. I provide everything for preschool, we don't take field trips, and I have a fabulous proven phonics system, that will almost guarantee that your child will be reading by the end of the school year. With tons of art projects, celebration days, and learning in a fun creative environment, your child will love their time spent at The Studio. thestudiopreschool@gmail.com
