Hi! I ran across your lovely poster on pinterest while working on a website to advocate for my elementary school’s art program. I was hoping I could use your poster as an image on my site – giving credit where credit is due of course!
Thank you,
Kate
hi kate! thanks for asking to use my poster. yes you can, but please add a link to the comments here so that i can check it out. good luck with your website and art program! bar
Hi Barbara, I love your poster! I run art classes for children from ages 2 – 12 and upwards, parents often ask me the importance of art for children, your poster sums it up! Would it be ok for me to post it on my Facebook page, and eventually on my website. I do a small newsletter of what we did this term too which I send to all my kids, it would be really lovely if I could share your poster there too, obviously all credit would go to you. I must point some other teachers in the direction of your website and poster too. We are all based in the South of Ireland. Many thanks, Aoife
Hi Aoife, thank you for stopping by! I’m so happy that you found me and my poster 🙂 And thank you for asking to use an image of my poster. Yes, you can! I’m thrilled to hear that my poster is inspiring teachers and children in the South of Ireland. Best wishes!! xo Bar
I love your poster! Did you hand stamp or letter it or did you use a font? Love the lettering in addition to the message.
hi sarah, thanks for stopping by! i used a font that looks like hand lettering…you got it right! i actually tweaked the font a bit, too, to make it my own. glad you like it! xo bar
I teach camps and other programs at nature centers, and this is so much the philosophy I believe in. I use art in most of the programs I do because I feel it is so important for the children.
those kids are very lucky to have you, Pauline!!

thank you Me-Chelle!! thank you for buying my poster, and for the compliments. you have made my day!! xo Bar
Love the poster! It can help students but also those teachers who don’t realize the power of what we do!
What a great poster!
Hi, love your book and we’ve been implementing lots of ideas in our pre-K 4s class. I had heard you’d made the poster downloadable in an 8.5×11 size, which would be perfect for our tiny available classroom wall. But the link seems to not work anymore? The Zazzle poster is not sized correctly. Can the downloadable link be made available again? Thank you!
Virginia, try it again. I think I just fixed it. Thanks for letting me know! xo Bar
