Why ART?
"The Arts are an essential part of public education. From dance and music to theatre and the visual arts, the arts give children a unique means of expression, capturing their passions and emotions, and allowing them to explore new ideas, subject matter, and cultures. They bring us joy in every aspect of our lives.
Arts education not only enhances students' understanding of the world around them, but it also broadens their perspective on traditional academics. The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves, while challenging our intellect. The arts integrate life and learning for all students and are integral in the development of the whole person.
The Arts communicate and speak to us in ways that teach literacy and enhance our lives. We must continue to find a place for arts programs and partnerships not only for what it teaches students about art, but for what it teaches us all about the world we live in".
--Dr. Terry Bergeson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Washington State, November 2001
Growing up from an educational family in which both grandparents and parents are either primary school or secondary school's teachers, I have never thought about becoming an artist. However, everything seems to be reversed and I actually discovered that I inherited from my aunt- a fashion designer- the most wonderful "artistic" gene. The combination between art and education is my dream because I want to use art as an unphysical method to help people feel alive with their passions, love, and courage to explore the world. For me, art is a magic and I always consider myself as a creator.
