Yesterday I posted a very passionate huge rant!
I popped it on social media & put a blog post about it on here!
I got loads & loads of really great feedback! & Positive, supportive, like minded comments, so thank you! YAY!!!
I will never grade the kids at Parsley Pie
NEVER EVER!!!!!!!!!
Creativity boosts self esteem it helps kids to learn how-to think for themselves, helps with dexterity, problem solving. It gives kids a sense of self, feelings of pride & joy.
THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH!!!!
THAT IS ENOUGH!!!
No need to put pressure on the children by grading them.
We all need time to kick back relax & reflect and delve into our own imaginations & minds & have head space.
Imagine this….. you’re at your weekly yoga class or you are in the pub with friends or you’re on a nice country walk and then…… someone is there, beating down on your head with rules pressure telling you what to do
NO GOOD!
NO GOOD AT ALL!!!
Time to relax & reflect, tap into our own heads & feel happy, proud & at one with ourselves is vitally important and valuable!
THAT IS ENOUGH!!
Based in Hale near Altrincham in Cheshire in the UK, I’ve run Parsley Pie for over 16 glorious, messy & happy years! I LOVE my art club & the ethos!
Parsley Pie is a quirky inspirational & very messy studio where children of all ages & all abilities who have a passion for art, get the time, space & resources to be truly creative!
The ethos since day one has been FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!
Kids are treated as individuals in small friendly groups & can work in their own way, in their own time, with no pressure, no curriculum, no grades & without being judged.
Im not breathing down their necks & interfering, but they know I am there if they ever need help or guidance.
Thanks for watching!
Let your creativity run wild, always!
