Here are my favorite quotes about art for children. All of them can be a very good way to motivate and inspire our children’s creativity and love for art.
“Coloring outside the lines is a fine art”

“The world today doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?”
Pablo Picasso
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up”
Pablo Picasso
“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary”
Pablo Picasso
“Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?”
Pablo Picasso
“I dream my painting and then paint my dream”
Vincent Van Gogh
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”

If your kids are little artists like mine you know how many pieces of art they can create at school or at home in a day: tons. Our creative children are not just artists they are mass production artists. Plenty of time our kids come to us yelling “mommy look what I made” with a proud smile in their faces showing us their drawings. Some drawings are very simple, some look very messy, but there are some drawings that when we look at them we say “Wow, did you really do this?” These drawings are special and I Love my Kids’ Art can transform them into very cute and original pieces of art printed on canvas or poster that you can use to decorate your home or office and at the same time preserve your kids’s creation for years.
