When parents visit a preschool that advertises itself as an art active environment I ask parents to demand,"Show me the art!"
A school should have their art on display for all to admire each day. Here are the permanent displays that one can witness at my school. Of course, paper projects come and go.

This is all student work.
How is that for kindergarten work?
An ode to Montessori with Italian Montessori lira.
Clay owl in the wreath.
Basement window.
Plate ledge of our old house filled with art.
The clay peg board alphabet letters were made by me.
These last plates were done as a cooperative project between myself and the kids. Kids and parents watched me throw on the potter's wheel. I threw plates and bowls. Later, the kids made hand-prints or attached clay letters or animals to my thrown pieces!
So, Parents!
Ask, "Show me the art!"
See our art on this video!
