from the executive director
|
At the start of each school year we train, in-person and through webinars, nearly 1,000 parents, teachers and community volunteers. Yesterday I spoke to 40 third grade parents and teachers and realized that among the key concepts we teach them are three "Ps" that speak to why Arts in Education is so important: Placement, Portrait and Perspective. These concepts, while they have very specific meaning related to space and style in a painting, also perfectly describe the impact of an arts program to a student at a fertile time in their development. Placement can mean finding your own place among your family, school, community and society. Perspective means testing out points of view -- so important for young learners. And your Portrait is the way you view yourself -- or want the world to view you. Read more

a special thanks to our corporate partners
|
We are grateful for the hard work of our corporate volunteers who assemble and pack art materials to help us keep the costs to our schools low. This month we thank volunteers from Adobe and Cisco. If your company would like to learn about volunteer opportunities at Art in Action, please contact Lisa. | | Adobe Volunteers and their families make art together following a morning of packing materials. |
 | |
Hard working Cisco Volunteers explore their creative side.
