INSPIRATION AND RESPONSIBILITY

Children are our future. Escuela Creatives is founded on the idea that the greatest form of creativity is often sparked by sharing in the creativity of others. Art is one of the strongest forms of expression we have. It can be a very powerful social and emotional tool. It has helped shape our society and culture for thousands of years.

A society without art is a society without life. Art inspires us to create. It follows usto tell stories about ourselves, other people and the events that shape our world. So if you are like us, staying up late and looking for something to ignite your vision. Then you are on your way to make a difference and this is why we have created Escuela Creatives.

TAKE A MOMENT

There are so many ongoing debates about the teaching profession and school reform. From the cost associated with staffing educational programs like music, art and science to the excessive amounts of time we are spending testing our students. We have heard so many stories about how schools are being shut down or how programs are being abandoned due to lack of funding or poor test scores.

Escuela Creatives understands that the arts play a crucial role in engaging and encouraging students to think outside of the box. Why not embrace the arts and help your school at the same time through fundraising? Does this sound difficult and time consuming? It doesn’t have to be. We have created an easy and uncomplicated program for you to start raising money. Give us a call and we’ll send you all the information we have available for you to start.

ART IS IMPORTANT!

According to a recent study conducted by Kimberly Sheridan, Ed.D., coauthor of Studio Thinking: The Real Benefits of Visual Arts Education. with colleagues at Harvard’s Project Zero, an educational research group, participating in a school arts program increases a child’s ability to:

• Observe the world carefully and discard preconceptions and envision something and then create it
.
• Go beyond just learning a skill to express a personal voice. Problem-solve and persist despite frustration and setbacks.
• Reflect on the results and ask what could improve them. Parenting.com article by Nancy Kalish, Why Art Makes Kids Smarter
