"It appeared that the Arts were slowly being minimized in public schools, and when researching art lessons in the area the fees seemed extraordinary. So I decided to offer art to children at a much more reasonable rate, including all the supplies, and offer longer sessions.." Mrs. McColl The Arts play a vital role in education. It is through the arts that children learn constructive criticism, critical thinking, positive relationships and problem solving skills.
