COLOR THE FUTURE
|
Color makes me smile. I love the way warm fall colors give contrast  to a rainy day or cool ocean hues relieve hot summer sunshine. I love a brilliant garden or a peaceful sunset. In art, color is my passion. Our new emblem, the color wheel, is the perfect representation of the joy and excitement Art in Action brings to so many children. In the past 30 years we have created an amazing program that opens the eyes and minds of students, inspiring creativity and visual awareness. Our technology-based world requires more sophisticated vision. Art in Action opens children's eyes to beauty and variety, and helps them create a more colorful world. Branding with color reflects our achievements and envisions our future. The mission of Art in Action-to ignite students' thinking and creativity by providing engaging visual arts programs and teacher training-remains critically important. Read more.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
|  | |
By Ezra Jack Keats
The Snowy Day, a 1963 Caldecott Medal winner, is the simple tale of a boy waking up to discover that snow has fallen during the night. The book is notable not only for its lovely artwork and tone, but also for its importance as a trailblazer.
