Riba KalbRiba Kalb has been teaching art to children aged two to nine for over thirty years, in both Canada and Mexico. She started to use the word "ARTCIDENT" in her classes around fifteen years ago. She found that it unfailingly helped children with their axiety around making "ART accidents," and brought smiles to their faces. She believes that there is always a way to transform art errors in a fun way, and that there is no right or wrong in art-the important thing is for children to be able to enjoy art and express themselves. "ARTCIDENT" has become a popular word with other teachers in her school and even with some parents.

Riba works at Arts Umbrella, an Art & Design, Dance, and Theatre School for children in Vancouver, and at Vancouver Talmud Torah School. She lives in Vancouver, Canada, with her husband. She has three adult children. Read More Read Less
