Creativity Crisis!

An article on Newsweek reports on the dwindling creativity in America. This article is great and addresses an issue that is usually overlooked. Send it on to every teacher, principal, and administrator you know. Creativity is essential in our children!

New Newsletter to Boost Creativity

In an effort to spread art and creativity, I will begin sending out a newsletter in August full of art ideas, stories, art tips, and online art games (to name a few). The newsletter is totally free and you can unsubscribe at any time. If you do sign up, though, you will be given access to a series of free videos demonstrating art projects that anyone can do!

I am always looking for new ideas for the newsletter, so if you have a story to share, a cool art project, or just about any other art related information, please feel free to comment below or pass it along to me at kmcvay@kinsymcvay.com. If you'd like to sign up for the newsletter, please click here, and you'll receive immediate access to the first FREE art video!

I look forward to your thoughts!

Just Line Around Book Review Available

Hey Everyone,



My book, Just Line Around, was just reviewed at Reader Views Kids. You can take a look at it here.



We all like to get a little recognition for what we do. Have you praised someone recently? For example, my family and I are getting ready to return home from a two week vacation. Every time that we travel, my wife packs and loads the car, and she does an awesome job. It's like a big 3-d puzzle to her, and she wins every time! :) It's a little thing, but I'm glad that she does it and does it well.



Have any of you out there read my book? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. You can drop me an e-mail at kmcvay@kinsymcvay.com or even post your review to Amazon's site or Barnes&Noble. Can't wait to hear from you!

Mural Project

The school district in Fort Worth has finally loosened up on their restrictions on murals in our schools, so we decided to paint a solar system mural in ours. The students absolutely love it, and I have a hard time limiting my helpers! :) Click here to view some pictures of the mural in progress.

Have you done any murals at your school? I'd love to see some pictures, since I plan on more murals in the future.

Happy Summer!!
