1300 ART CLASS

As you may be able to tell ... we think that art is much more than an enjoyable activity.  It contributes to the development of vital living and learning skills.

Here is a quote from the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" that is particularly interesting. 

"... the arts are essential for training specific, visual , perceptual ways of thinking, just as the "3Rs" are essential for training specific, verbal, numerical, analytical ways of thinking ... both thinking modes - one to comprehend the details and the other to "see" the whole picture for example, are vital for critical-thinking skills, extrapolation of meaning, and problem solving ... "
