I have two children who have greatly benefitted from this school. They're little artists now. I feel their minds have been totally opened by the process that this school adheres to. And that is of learning how to think by working in the arts. All day they work in painting, performance art, sculpture, architecture, music, dance and writing.
Art involves serious exploration.
Cleveland has embraced the Studio School. It is wonderful to be here. We have brought a corps of artists to teach full time, and children are given the benefit of working in the arts in a way that is intrinsic to their lives. Many of the children are Latinos, and he shares with them a cultural link, which is both a gift and an exchange. I also think it's very important that Children's Studio School emphasizes that each child is an individual.
