The Power of Art
May 29, 2013
You manage things; you lead people.
-Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
At Orchard Gardens Pilot School in Boston, Massachusetts, the results of highlighting the arts have been dramatic.  In just three years the students at the once-troubled school have improved their basic academic skills and many say the arts have changed their lives.  Check this out in the BBC video, "Power of Art: Can painting improve your grades?"

In addition to these valuable contributions to working with very young artists, we need also to introduce great art by Albers, van Gogh, Picasso, Renoir and many others to young children. Purchase reproductions from museums or catalogues that show numbers, letters, animals, houses, families, children, workers, etc., all by famous and well-known artists and accessible to young children. The non-verbal world becomes an invaluable place for young children to inhabit.
