Say Things With Color is the art site recently launched by Lower School art teacher Alia Tahvildaran where she blogs about projects, materials, inspirations, and good reads to help empower parents to create with their kids at home. Educators agree that creative thinking and problem solving are critical to a student's success in school and life. This is just one way to increase the amount of time students can practice creative play by bringing the classroom studio home to anyone's playroom or kitchen table. When asked about the inspiration for the site, Tahvildaran reports, "I started my blog to visually archive curriculum and classroom goings-on, suggest art games and applications for kids, connect with fellow educators, and above all to empower parents to feel confident creating and discussing art with their kids at home. When you visit saythingswithcolor.com you can find a great art book to read with your children, an online art game to play, inspiration for a project, and links for my favorite art tools and materials to use in your home or classroom.
