| Long abstract | Before I started elementary school, I remember being obsessed with the idea of treasure. I loved tales of pirates and jewels, and relished movies including secret compartments and magical amulets. An older sibling bought me beloved kitschy treasure chests from pet store aquarium sections. I also used to dig in the backyard, scour the basement, and sift through my mother’s jewelry in hopes to find some ancient, forgotten, secret objects. Treasure, with its preciousness and stories are interesting to children with good reason. The acts of discovering, discussing, defining, and creating treasure are inherently and usefully artistic, for we must decide what qualities of color, shape, luster, history, myth and meaning might render an object to become treasured. |
