Throughout March, the library is collaborating with art teachers from the Zionsville Community Schools (ZCS) to support Youth Art Month (YAM). YAM is a nationwide program that began in 1961 to emphasize the value of art and art education for children. Students from grades K-12 are represented with displays of their artwork on both floors of the library.In addition, art classes for children K-12 will be offered by local and ZCS art teachers on four different Saturdays in March. See the Events calendar to sign up; spots are filling up quickly.
Children receive so many benefits from a quality art program:- enhances problem-solving and critical thinking
- teaches sensitivity to beauty, order, and other expressive qualities
- promotes multicultural awareness and understanding
- offers another dimension to what students are already learning in other subject areas.
Please support your local art educators and students!
