Finding Unexpected Inspiration
February 10, 2017
You can look at anyone and say: You are a part of me I don’t yet know. From there, we begin to transform the world around us, and inside us.

“To begin to understand the principles of designing beautiful classroom spaces, you must learn to search for what inspires and excites you,” write Jessica Deviney, Sandra Duncan, Sara Harris, Mary Ann Rody and Lois Rosenberry in their book, Inspiring Spaces for Young Children.
“Looking at paint chips and browsing the brochures that show how colors work together might spark an idea for a new look for your classroom... Try looking beyond the early childhood catalog and flip through some home decorating catalogs. Consider thinking outside the primary color box. Visit a home store or go to an art gallery. Spend a sunny day at the local nursery or lumberyard. Walk through a resale shop. Borrow your inspiration from anywhere... a fabric remnant, framed children’s or commercial art, an authentic piece of furniture, or the beautiful textures and colors of the natural world.”
