Visual Arts | The Peace Dragon

An artist will tell you when their heart connects with their art – a sense of peace overtakes them; there is no right way or wrong way, there is only art led by heart.

So choose from the endless palette of colors in pen, pencil or paint;
the endless textures of clays, papers or fabrics;
and mix and match the solid and stolid independent shades
with the regulated and random patterns and
CREATE!

Don't be surprised when the dimension of your dragon appears and finds its depths on and off the paper! No matter, just post it so others can find the peace...

Come join the fun at the Dragon Doodlies and see how the alphabet can build the basics of a dragon with only a few strokes... its our Draw-a-Dragon-Palooza!

See how she wraps her arms so lovingly, cradling the earth, her wings arching to embrace it. The Peace Dragon holds love in her heart which flows outward into the universe, and inward to the world.

Younger children will make shrink heart pins to exchange with their new art buddies, as the first international peace dragon art exchange takes place between one thousand students from India and US students, five hundred from each country. Check out these great heart pins. Look at some of the amazing details. These are attached to a card, where the heart completes the tail of the dragon, and inside the artist offers a few details and a photo for their new friend. Art with a heart in action!

Another part of the art exchange uses the artist’s handprint as a wing of the dragon, an extension of the artist’s hand across the world to reach out and say “hello.” Kids from a variety of classes created dragon characters, some, which employed a bit of the student’s own personality. Seventh grade Alex Sears from David Lipscomb Middle School hit the ice with his dragon.

Haley Grizzell kept drawing dragons after class and went one step further - after I suggested her polka-dot dragon must have a story behind her, a story of how she got the polka dots - the next day I was rewarded with her art…and the story.

What a gift!<br/><br/>The amazing New York Times Best selling author Peter H. Reynolds presented Linda Ragsdale with his vision of a peace dragon earlier this month. Peter and his twin brother Paul are the co-founders of <a href="http://www.fablevision.com/" target="_blank">Fablevison</a>, a company dedicated to everyone reaching their potential through groundbreaking programs where technology and teaching inspire learning through fun. Linda is an ambassador for the company. When she received the drawing, Linda was moved to tears. "The connection with the child and the dragon captured my heart. This is truly peace."<br/><br/>Thank You Peter!

Love is the greatest vehicle of peace. We have a band called Theo Cas, which is the nickname of the musician/shaman Thelonious Castaneda, who is an incredible person - someone who is able to inspire and illuminate life for people on a profound level. I'm lucky to say he's actually a friend of mine. He was passing through town once and he let me interview him and this is a portion of the interview where he talks about Love.
