This art program brings enjoyment to students and their families, focuses community excitement, and promotes future audiences and supporters of the arts. The Art in Action Program combines a sequential K-8 curriculum based on the art of the Great Masters and hands-on projects, lesson-specific art supplies, training of teachers and docents, the display of children’s art, and ongoing support for schools. Students become uniquely engaged and excited in learning through their own creativity. Open-ended discussions build their skills in observation, analysis, problem solving, collaboration, communication, and self-expression. Lessons build cultural appreciation and self-esteem, and integrate with other core subjects, including history, mathematics, science and literature.
