What parents, educators, and students say about Art in Action
Parents
“I am absolutely in love with your program... The curriculum is fantastic and extremely user friendly.”
"The on-line lessons are fabulous! I really feel that they make a big difference in helping to prepare for a lesson and are so well done. Thank you, thank you! Art in Action continues to amaze..."
“Creativity and self-expression are so needed in this world... Thanks to the Art in Action program, we have been able to foster this expression within our students and seen tremendous growth.”
“The Art in Action program has been a huge success at our elementary school. We started with just the 3rd grade last year, have now added the 4th and 5th grade this year, and expect to have the entire K-5 student body fully engaged in an enriching art experience that has the ability to restore a vital element to the education of our children.”
Educators
“Art in Action not only provides an exposure to the arts, it helps students develop self-esteem, is an outlet for creative expression and increases parent participation within the school. Our students are very fortunate to have this program.”
"We put up our students’ work last week as an Art Wall in the school office. Already many have stopped to view with amazement the variety and quality of the art pieces. Lots of discussion occurs in the office hallways; which is a fabulous benefit of the effort and opportunity the program brings."
“I have found Art in Action a refreshing and invigorating teaching experience -- a beautifully organized, handsomely packaged, and consistently supported program that offers me the opportunity to present my students with challenging and creative art activities.”
“The most important things I feel this program has provided for my students over the years, has been to build foundations in drawing, painting, sculpturing, promoting self-expression, critical thinking, and exciting their creativity juices.”
Students
“Art in Action is great. You really get to use your imagination and express yourself. I think everyone should do Art in Action.”
"I like Art in Action because it is really fun. I get to learn new things every time.”
“I like the way the parents teach us about art. I especially like it when they tell the history about the painting, painter, or both. The cool thing is that I learn a little history and a lot of art.”
“My favorite project was Picasso and all the shapes. When you arrange the figures in your own way, it gives you a special feeling that is very strong. I think it is cool for people to have different opinions and ideas.”
