Art_What do you do with an idea?

The art theme for Pre-First is imagination, appropriately so!  The girls all started a painting with one circle that represented "an idea". And, as you would expect, they are all amazingly different.  They are learning watercolor skills and experimental color mixing. They are naming their new colors after experiences they've had before like rose red, coral green, coral peach, grape purple, jungle brown, orange carrot, royal red, purple blue, hurricane blue and so on. 

 
We read "What Do You Do With An Idea?" and learned:

Maxine - You don't give up on your idea.
Grace - You take care of your idea.
Aria - Never give up on your dream or your idea.
Jade - You can protect it even though people will be mean.
Mary Frances - You should make your idea into a bigger one.
Zoya - When you feed it, your idea grows.
Paulena - You feed it.
Sofia - You can always find out where the idea wants you to go.
Anelie - You change the world.
Priya - You should always be your idea's friend
Emilia - You share it with others.
Kaylee - You listen to it.
