Art is crucial to children's development. It is undervalued in our society and underfunded in our schools. I believe it is vital to foster and cultivate creativity in children through drawing and painting. These techniques will allow for individual expression is now more important in our increasingly digital world. Simple artistic activities are integral building blocks of child development. Art has proven to develop the following areas in young children: MOTOR SKILLS LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT DECISION MAKING VISUAL LEARNING CULTURAL AWARENESS IMPROVED ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE S.P.A.R.K. was created to foster that the same passion for art with the next generation. As early as age 4, I was on the floor drawing. That seed was given life by exposure to the arts as I grew up. I fondly remember art classes being the best part of school where I learned the various medium and methods. In addition to technique and form, I want to expose the children to the most famous artists of our time. Living in New York City, we are extremely fortunate to have access to some of the greatest works of art in the world, which will be a part of my unique curriculum. I'm bringing a completely new approach to after school programs as well as Saturday mornings!
