Ages 6 to 8, sees the flowering of Child Art, according to Dr Viktor Lowenfeld.

Boring, boring, boring, Dr Lowenfeld, and I should know since this guy was a god in Art Education circles when I was a student ages ago both in time and in space.

Boring as this dry Austrian prof was, he did have a point.  

My happiest professional years were spent with child artists—I can’t even say teaching since an adult can certainly not teach a child when it comes to art.

 Today I saw two happy campers come into my home (ages 6 to 8 or thereabouts) and my old instinct of ‘hey-guys-just-pick-up-a-paint-brush’ was immediately re-activated.

A happy flashback to my past.
