Start with ART! The start of school is a kind of new beginning for children, parents, and teachers alike. Together, a community of learners, children and adults, will begin to explore, discover and learn with anticipation, excitement and high hopes. Every art lesson offers a fresh start in a white piece of paper, a lump of clay or an empty stage. When we encourage our students to observe, reflect, and create — we are asking them to actively take part in their education and the shaping of their dreams. We start by imagining what is possible. |

The art shown on the KinderstART website is work created by Rooftop kindergarteners and their families.

| The ultimate challenge for American education is to place all children on pathways toward success in school and in life. Through engagement with the arts, young people can better begin lifelong journeys of developing their capabilities and contributing to the world around them. The arts teach young people how to learn by giving them the first step: the desire to learn. Champions of Change: The Impact of the Arts on Learning also shows that the arts can play a vital role in learning how to learn, an essential ability for fostering achievement and growth throughout their lives. from Champions of Change: The Impact of the Arts on Learning, a report on arts education by The Arts Education Partnership and The President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities |
