Painting with Scissors like Henry Matisse
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 14th, 2011
It's fun to do art with kids, but when you talk about art with them... crayons and paint are usually the first things that come to mind. Nothing wrong with that, but there's still so much more ways to do art then just the usual. Which is why I'm glad I came across Henry Matisse! Henry Matisse was a well known artist, he was good in both painting and sculpting! But as he reached the age of 72, it became difficult for him to stand and ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (3 )

A few days ago, I was given the wonderful opportunity to attend the Jamba Juice VIP and Media Night at the Fort. I came to the event not expecting anything at all, in fact, I thought it would just be a small event to show the media and bloggers the...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Splatter Painting like Jackson Pollock
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 5th, 2011
Well, I showed you Michelangelo and Van Gogh... now another famous artist of the fine arts is Jackson Pollock. Now Jackson Pollock’s art is more on the abstract side. He is well known for his splatter paintings. At first look, I thought… “what’s so hard about that?” but give it a try and you’ll realize it’s not as easy as it looks. Sure, it’ll look great no matter what, but he’s work is definitely different… definitely the wor...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

To start off, we introduced them to the famous Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti or simply Michelangelo! First, we showed the kids his famous painting on the Sistine chapel.

Learning the Wonders of Play at Play Pilipinas 2011
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 1st, 2011
Last week, Play Pilipinas had their first ever festival on children's play here in the Philippines. I had already heard about it since several months ago but was hesitant to register due to lack of funds. However, during the last minute, I realized that anything that would add to my knowledge of children and early childhood education would surely not be a waste. Basically, there would be 4-6 seminars/ workshops all on the same time slot. You'd ha...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )
