START WITH ART: Night Flight (Volo di notte)
We START WITH ART each morning with our kids (Jenna's kids are 7 and 10, Janet's is also 10). This takes us less than five minutes each morning and tends to be re-visited later in the day at the dinner table or during our evening reading sessions. We find this little exercise each morning ignites creativity and sparks critical thinking.
Here's how to #STARTWITHART:
Step one: Take a look at the artwork below
Step two: Read the questions below the picture of the art to the students/children in your life
Step three: See how starting your day with art can ignite creativity and critical thinking!
It's that easy! Let's START WITH ART!

- If you could give this painting a different title, what would you call it and why?
- Imagine you're inside this painting. What sounds do you think you might hear in this abstract scene? Would they be calm noises? Chaotic sounds?
