Nature’s color palette never ceases to amaze us here in Minnesota. Artists everywhere strive to capture her beauty but we all know how tough it can be to do. As you sit in front of your canvas this fall, you might find it challenging to get the foliage just right.</span></div>

In fall especially, it can be easy to get too bright and too warm because our eyes mistake oranges and yellows for being brighter than they actually are.

Whether through paint, clay, or other mediums, children can develop many parts of their brains—and even personalities—by exploring art. Visual art engages many areas of a child’s brain, including parts that dominate decision making, physical movement, memory, and planning. Encourage your child to sketch, paint, and build. Try out activities that include color mixing, block-building, collage making, and more!</span></div>

Mortimer Brewster also has to decide if he wants to marry the woman of his dreams or move on to a life of bachelorhood. It’s hilarious, it’s unconventional, and it’s a must-see show.</span></div>
