M ommy, look! It eels like the ocean! My three-year-old daughter, Isabelle, squealed across the art studioas she rubbed globs o electric blue nger-painttogether on her palms. She smeared. She poked. She used herindex nger as a modi ed paintbrush andcreated zigzags and waves o blue acrossthe glass.

I gazed over her shoulder and

catalogued the ways my daughter hasexhibited her genius since birth. Isabellepromptly leaned over and licked theocean in her hand. A rown appeared on her ace: Mommy, itdudnt taste like ocean. Sweet. No salt? I wondered i nger-paints have any signi cant nutritional value.

Isabelle and I have been exploring art in its numerous ormssince her rst love a air with a kids Van Gogh book o colors

when she was one and a hal . Tat book, with its tatterededges and gnawed corners, simpli ed the complex world o art into common shapes and primary colors. In typical toddlerashion, we read it repeatedly until I could recite every page

in my sleep. Te book had been a gi t roman eclectic hippy riend who presented my husband and me with Isabelles extendedastrology chart or her birth. She declared

my daughter an artist. And she is. We rst began taking summer art classes

together at the Brush and Palette Studioon imberlane Road two years ago, starting with a class inexploratory art designed speci cally or toddlers. Each week the instructor set up our di erent projects or us to progressthrough. We worked at a toddlers pace, which meant eitherthat our short attention span caused us to complete all our

I wondered iffinger-paints haveany significantnutritional value.

projects in under twelve minutes, or that we would spend sixty ull minutes tearing colored tissue paper into tiny bits. I oundmysel exploring too, and elt guilty when I realized I wasnudging my daughter towards the simple green shaving creamoam so I could concentrate on a more complex mosaic withseashells.

Remember, its the process not the product, reminds Pam alley, the owner and instructor. Te overzealous parentscollectively sighed and stepped back rom our coachingto let our budding artists investigate. Tis was particularly rustrating during what I call Isabelles Mud Period thetime when she discovered over and over that adding brown orblack to any color miraculously turns the whole thing brownor black. I kept pushing the yellows and reds, while Pam gently guided me back to a sa e viewing distance. I have a plethora o ramed portraits eaturing a single black paint stroke to provemy restraint.

Isabelle and I have learned to mold clay into snakes andmelt crayons into a blur o waxy hues. Weve rubbed pencilsonto paper and watched as the outlines o keys and penniesand veined leaves emerged. Weve dripped neon paints into asalad spinner and spun a rainbow o paper plate masterpieces.And weve stomped aluminum oil into sculptures o swansand kitties. Each class was thought ul and adventuresome, andPam gently explained the art concepts as we explored in sync.

o encourage a ner appreciation or art, Ive also organizedoutings to each new exhibit at the Mary Brogan Museumand the LeMoyne Art Foundation. Isabelle asks wonder ully pro ound questions like, Look at the old mummy! Can Iclimb it? and Why is the picture upside down? One day,as we cocked our heads sideways to appreciate the abstractbrush strokes o a very modern artist, she broke the silenceo the gallery by exclaiming, Its very messy, mommy. I

personally thought it resembled one o Isabelles mud periodmasterpieces, but or the sake o teaching gallery etiquette, Ishushed her and strolled on.

O course, hands-on art is Isabelles avorite method o discovery. When we happened upon Complex by Alex White in Te Art and Ecology riennial installation at theBrogan, Isabelle spent an hour happily rearranging thecollection o spray-painted egg cartons on the oor. I hovered

like a helicopter, waving my arms to intercept the impendindestruction, but the wonder ul people at the museumassured me that my toddler was doing exactly what the artiintended.

Isabelle also likes to simply sit amongst the art and absor Te Helen Lind Sculpture Garden at LeMoyne is one o ouravorite places to soak up culture. I pack snacks and art booor us to share. We stroll the brick paths and rest on the stonebenches as we discuss each sculpture. Tis is where Isabelleimagination really comes alive; she pretends each piece art can speak only to her. Listen, mommy, to the art, shexclaims. Te sculptures whisper their secrets as we pass, anshe nods at them in encouragement.

I dont know i Isabelle will be the next Jackson Pollock Vermeer though she has recently demonstrated a proclivitor watercolors but I know that I wont have these precioudays with her again. So or now, I am content to ooh and aahover each new toddler creation. As I rinse out her paintbrusheand replenish her palettes, I realize Pam was right: it is thprocess and not the product that really matters.
