Art for children.
Tomorrow, Saturday, November 4, 2017, Planeta Bea and PLOM Gallery organize a visit with children to Andy Warhol ‘s exhibition The Mechanical Art, at. Caixa Forum. There’s still time to sign up!
We take this opportunity to publish this text by writer and journalist Pedro Calleja, in which he talks about the importance of initiating children (who knows if future artists…) in the world of art.
Art for children in action.
People who, by Pedro Calleja
Crayons.
Who hasn’t given a child a box of colored pencils?
Brushes and watercolors.
Who hasn’t given a child brushes and watercolors?
Wide-tipped markers.
Modeling clay.
Chalk and easy erase board.
Soft wax paints.
Chinese ink.
Paper.
Notebooks.
Notebooks for drawing.
Who hasn’t given a child one of these things?
Almost all of us have.
They are usual, traditional, traditional gifts.
The other day I was thinking about these gifts.
I am sure that, on more than one occasion, they were gifts that changed the child who received them.
They helped him to imagine something, to create, to express himself, to have fun and to entertain others. 
“Who was the first person to give Pablo Picasso a box of paintings as a gift?” “Who was the first person to take Andy Warhol to an art gallery?”
Art for kids
Thinking about all this and letting my own imagination fly, I ended up asking myself: who was the first person who gave a box of paints to Picasso?
Who was the first person to give colored pencils to Miró?
Who was the first person to ask Dalí to give him an original drawing of his?
Who was the first person to take Warhol to an art gallery?
Can you imagine being one of these people?
We don’t know their names, but we know they were very special people.
Important people.
People who.
I want to be a person who.
