Like any of the arts, visual art takes time, commitment, belief, trust, hard work, willingness to value expression over perfection, and provides a great feeling of accomplishment and fun. Our teachers love their specialties and most, besides being teachers, are working artists. They are talented and love to share their passion. Come take an ART class! Check out this awesome student art from our Summer 2010 session.         More than 500 students participated in our summer 2010 session. As we wrap-up and begin preparation for the fall, Arts For All would like to acknowlege our all students.  Our performing and music arts students practiced and worked hard.  Although we have a lot of fun in class, our students deserve kudos for their accomplishments!  Below is some art from Jim Jacobi's summer Painting and Drawing students.  This is some amazing art that we would like to share.  Good job to all our students!

rk that can be ignited, and we can learn to light this fire. It requires us to develop our senses, improve how we see, hear, and feel about the world and nature, ourselves and others, and understand and appreciate the beauty of it all.  The arts are for individual and collaborative experiences.  My favorite words are:  Beauty, Empathy, Possibilities, Both, Many, Creativity, the word AND, Why/Why Not, Feel, Imagination, Expression, Solutions, Joy, Understanding, and the elements of art being, Pattern, Line, Shape, Color, and Texture.  The arts are all around us everyday, they are our world. Just open your eyes, ears, and heart. Come participate. Judy Mallory,  Executive Director
