START WITH ART: Black Jug and Skull

Spooky season is here and we're starting with the spooky skull lithograph by Pablo Picasso pictured below AND giving you a FREE COLORING PAGE so that you can express your spooky side after starting with art (history!) today.

If you like the idea of starting with art daily (ignite creativity, critical thinking, a growth mindset!) you can participate by adding our calendar to your Google Calendar by clicking here then click "add."

Let's get our day started with art!
