The Teaching Artist

.

“A practicing professional artist or designer

teaching in, through, and

about

the arts”

“Those who have learned the

lessons of the arts - how to see

new patterns, how to learn from

mistakes, and how to envision

solutions - are the ones likely to

come up with the novel answers

needed most for the future.”

– Ellen Winner Studio
