Let’s face it – we live in a busy, hectic world full of text messaging, social media and other distractions. How does one stay grounded and centered in today’s world? Art is a portal that reconnects us to our deeper selves. It’s the perfect way to tap into the power of imagination and creative energy to deepen and enrich our lives, hearts and minds – plus open up our ways of being and seeing the world.
Even as arts programs continue to be cut from classrooms across the country, countless studies show the impact and benefit art education has on brainpower and creative thinking. Say YES to Art steps in to elevate the brain power and life experience of kids and adults everywhere. Picture this: Parents with no prior art experience bring the Say YES to Art program into their kids’ schools as art parent volunteers. Then, they quickly become the hit of the class, while helping to bridge the gap in arts education. Or a mom can forget the ballet lessons and soccer practice, the endless running around, and last-minute fast food dinners, to expose her kids to whole new world of art and imagination right at home. Later, they can give the finished watercolor paintings to their grandparents for Christmas.
