My stories grew out of a desire to pass along what I feel is essential for everyone to know about art. These topics are not routinely found in literature for young children. Recognizing the value of self-taught artists and folk arts is the primary theme in Bearie Goes for a Walk. Taking time to look at art, subject matter chosen by artists, using natural materials and found objects, engaging in art discourse and becoming inspired by experience are other themes. Other stories explore different ways of seeing, different points of view, looking at reproductions and actual art objects and two dimensional and three dimensional ways of envisioning ideas.-Martha Savage, CAW Co-Department Head of Young People’s Program

Martha’s stories come to life this summer through Adventures in Art week-long programs for young people at Creative Arts Workshop with themes like Art Safari to Kenya, Native Americans through Animals and Storytelling, Far Out! and more.
