They seem to be able to just experience it and go with the eeling rather than spending a lot of time picking it apart and trying to figure out what it means. When I worked at an after-school program I had some art books and kids would look through it and say "that looks sad" or "that looks excited" even for things like Pollock that you might not expect kids to enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1155622572196679112006-08-15T02:16:00.000-04:002006-08-15T02:16:00.000-04:00What an awesome post!!
