LCC Transformative Studio Art Program


The children in the “Art is Life; Life is Art” class are encouraged and guided to discover the power of their own creativity and the value of what that can teach them.
The ultimate intention of the art program is to teach and reveal that art is a gift that is latent in everyone and that it has the ability to transform our lives as well as the potential to transform the world we live in.

The formula of the mentoring art studio, along with the publication and exhibition of our children’s art, works on multiple levels .

In realizing the power of their imagination our children start to understand and activate problem solving skills, healthy expression, accountability, and responsibility.

The art program also develops the capacity for creative expression increasing their sense of personal identity and pride. As well as learning that art is a tool of expression and communication.

exhibition opportunities for their work as well as publication of their work, is validating their art and enhancing their self-esteem

It fosters socialization and inclusion in our classes and on field trips to museums, art galleries, artists' studios and community events.


It increases the public's understanding and awareness of the artistic and creative abilities of our children
