Thank you for this program! I’m a huge fan of Picasso and Frida Kahlo. I caught this when I was leaving work yesterday (12-6-09) and stayed in the car when I got home because I didn’t want to miss anything. My favorite part by far was the group of elementary school children who were discussing Picasso’s art. It was amazing to hear them describe his art and thier thoughts on it! I think it’s important for young children to be allowed to speak about artists as vast and multi-mediaed as Picasso. Again thank you!
