Art for children
Our aim at From Mud to Matisse is to introduce children to the magical world of art. Whether it's the works of the Old Masters, Modernist 20C sculptures or contemporary paintings, art has much to share and much to tell. Looking at paintings can be as exciting as discovering a hidden world: it enriches children's minds and awakens their imagination. They are given a fascinating insight into the works of past artists, their ingenious techniques and the world in which they lived....
As mothers we know how important it is for children to have as broad and diverse an education as possible. Learning about the different sides of Art encompasses areas of learning in an inspirational and engaging way. From Mud to Matisse is dedicated to promoting the arts for children.
