Mosaic Art for the Little Ones

As I was thinking today of the future of Square Art and how we can reach out to the masses, my thoughts veered to how kids react to our mosaic tiles. In previous craft fairs, we would see children of all ages reaching out to the colourful tiles and pictures and even their parents were drawn to their enthusiasm. We even had a lovely buyer who bought some tiles for children to create lovely pieces as Mother's Day gifts for a local Sunday School. Then I thought, will it end up with the parents doing most of the work (like one parent we met who was afraid of that) or will the children enjoy doing it by themselves?

Then I stumbled into this video of children creating mosaic art using egg shells. It shows that given the right instruction and direction, children are able to express themselves confidently through art. Watch right through the end when they describe what they did :)

Perhaps, given the right encouragement and passion, they will be able to come out with works of art such as these in the future:

Note: Square Art sells acrylic mosaic tiles and DIY mosaic kits both for children and adults alike. Some of the tiles are small and children will require adult supervision. However, these kits are good for children ages 6 and up and are great for them to express themselves through art and as a new hobby. ^CL
