Childhood Painting Lesson
“Draw me,” the cypress said.
“I will hold quite still and bow my head.”
“Draw us,” the willows cried.
“We will lift our gentle skirts aside.”
The poppies called, “We will give you red.”
“I will give you silver,” the river said.
I recall on this neglected lawn
How the world knelt to be drawn.
By Henry Rago
"These dvds are a great resource in my classroom. The kids love the art and I especially like the fact that other subjects in addition to art are being taught!"
- E. Martinez, Paso Robles 4th Grade Teacher
"My students' mission drawings turned out fabulous, and afterwards the kids were more enthusiastic about learning about missions!"
