Class Trip to Luna Parc 2018

On May 26th, we attended a class trip to Luna Parc, the private residence of local artist Ricky Boscarino. Ricky is always gracious in inviting us into his home, and engaging the student artists in a project in his studio. We had so much fun, and learned quite a lot, too.

The Power of Art Education

All children, not only those with specific artistic talent, benefit from an education in the arts. The arts are, in themselves, a vital part of a comprehensive education. Current research suggests that young people who participate in the arts acquire skills that help them in decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. The arts also help motivate children to learn and achieve stronger results in core academic subjects. For some children, the arts even provide the impetus to stay in school and find their way to contribute to society. Creative thinking and art education challenge students to utilize the right-hemisphere of the brain more often, resulting in more holistic thinking and intuitive learning.
