Welcome to the Art Studio!
"Art has a potentially vital role in the education of our children. The process of drawing, painting, or constructing is a complex one in which the child brings together diverse elements of his experience to make a new and meaningful whole. In the process of selecting, interpreting and reforming these elements, he has given us more than a picture or a sculpture; he has given us a part of himself: how he thinks, how he feels and how he sees. For the child, art is a dynamic and unifying activity." -Viktor Lowenfeld, art educator
