September brings a lot of new excitement; the start of school, the beginning of fall and now, Arts in Education Week.
The second week of September, as designated by the US House of Representatives, is a time to celebrate how “arts education, comprising a rich array of disciplines, including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, design, and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an essential element of a complete and balanced education for all students.”
Back to School already? I love this time of year; lots of new school supplies, new clothes, new friends and all new Young Rembrandts drawing classes!
As we get our kids ready to go back to school, let’s remember how important it is for them to get back to art.
Here’s a great Cinderella story about how one principal used art to dramatically transform a failing school.
This how to draw video series is the result of teaching children how to draw in Young Rembrandts for over twenty years! 
Although this drawing lesson was written with kids in mind, it’s fun for adults, too.
Do you want to be more creative? Have the next million-dollar idea?
Do you want to be in the ranks of Einstein, Picasso or Steve Jobs? Then it’s time to get creative… and quiet!!
Creativity is an internal process that requires time spent in imagination. But today’s world is busy; so many things demand our time, attention and energy. That generating original ideas can sometimes feel more like work than play.
Thinking creatively is an internal process. It’s about finding and connecting thoughts to arrive at new conclusions and new ideas. This kind of thinking comes naturally to the right side of our mind, but we need to slow down and “tune in” to hear it. We can all be creative, but we have to get quiet enough to hear ourselves think.
Creativity is a thought process but to hear our thoughts, we need to turn off the noise and tune into what our mind can imagine. Being comfortable 
in the quiet needs to start in childhood. Here are 10 ways to help your kids enjoy being quiet.

Klutz books are an easy way for kids to be creative. But what makes these books so special? 
Kids learn best when they can see, touch and do it. This hands-on approach is what keeps kids engaged and having fun! Klutz books are the standard in experiential hands-on kid’s crafts and science topics. Originally developed by three Stanford graduates, the company has since been acquired by Scholastic and gone on to develop an impressive line of activity driven books for kids that include all the materials and easy to follow directions.
