Art & Play — The Real Story
French Mum of 2 little creative girls with a fashion designer background — I've always seen life as a creativity time.
If you don't believe me, just ask my husband!
I've always been into fashion and design worlds and always think about aesthetics. It all started one morning in Paris with my husband heading to work when I suddenly saw an adorable and enormous ladder inside a garbage. I looked at my husband and told him "I want it now."
You should see me with my 12cm high heels and him in suits carrying a 3 meter ladder from the street to our tiny apartment. At that time I didn't know what to do with it but I was certain that I would use it as a piece of decoration.
"Now that I have kids it is even worse: I keep e-very-thing — boxes, tissue, sand, shells, leaves, pine cones... knowing that it will become a SUPERBE source of inspiration for kids to learn and create."
My idea is to open this ability to create and continue to encourage creative exploration throughout early childhood all the way through high school. This is how we will raise creative thinkers who see other points of view, take risks, envision solutions, embrace diversity, value art and aesthetics, and innovate.
The Famous Ladder
The famous ladder that became a "life tree" — we decorate it for any kind of event like Easter, Halloween, Chinese New Year, and more. It's a symbol of how anything can become a source of creativity and inspiration.
This is the spirit of Art & Play: finding beauty and creative potential in everything around us, and passing that vision on to the next generation.
