Visual art education provides children with a wide skill set, teaching innovation, <br /> creative problem-solving, and spatial reasoning, among other important skills (PBS).

Jason is a veteran ceramics teacher <br /> who works with children year-round at The ArtsCenter. The 3rd <br /> grade attended Storytelling on April 30th. The classroom teachers <br /> and Art teacher at Central worked with Jason to develop a <br /> residency based on the life-cycle of a plant, which children had <br /> been studying in class. Each student created a series of 4 <br /> ceramic tiles representing the life-cycles. After the residency, <br /> Jason created mosaics from the students' ceramic tiles and <br /> installed them in the school as a permanent exhibit. <br /> • Also at Central, actor and puppetry artist Cameron Prevatte <br /> completed a residency with the 4th grade classes.
