Amazing ART!

Bygabarker

We had the opportunity to come together for the holidays and celebrate with some amazing ART.  We met at Art ala Carte PDX located in the heart of NE Portland.  WOW!  This place is great!  The space is set up for free form art…as much or as little supplies as you want.  Including buttons, yarn, many recycled materials, and of course lots of glue and glitter.

“Filling up on the goods!”

 

At Art ala Carte PDX children are encouraged to enjoy the process.… assisted by the adults in creating whatever they like.  There are endless possibilities as you fill up your tray and start creating!

I love the relaxed atmosphere here, I know that I will be back soon with my older daughter as well.

 

 

My sons favorite part… all the glitter you can imagine, (and Mom loves) , none of the mess!

If you live in the Portland area make sure to check this place out, your children will love you for it!

    Preparations. We know that all young children have a lot of knowledge they need to acquire.  In a Montessori school learning is self-driven and is done effortlessly.  When the child is young they busy themselves with washing tables, polishing brass, stringing beads, moving cylinders in and out of blocks, matching colors, dishwashing and even making…
