Art Quotes

I love quotes. I am not very good at remembering them though. I thought I would share some of my favorite art quotes with you today. Enjoy!

    There’s an interesting art site for kids, http://www.artsology.com … I mention this because every page on the site loads a different arts quote in the top right corner of the page … plenty of interesting quotes!

  2. Jimmie,
    I love the Paul Klee quote. It is fun and very easy for children to understand.

    The Klee quote is just plain fun! I can even see an illustration for that one.
    But I really like the depth of the O’Keefe and Matisse quotes. I like that art is a alternate form of expression. As a verbal person, it’s nice to access the other side of my brain to create art.
