Art-Infused Education
Why Art-Infused Education?

  • It supports academic development for students with diverse learning styles and forms of intelligence.

  • It crosses barriers of race, culture, and socio-economic status.

  • It supports socio-emotional development, helping students build resilience, strengthen personal identity, and understand diverse cultures.

 

As an artist herself, Tamar has worked with youth of all ages and families throughout her whole life.

  • Offering a globally-inspired curriculum to guide students in learning about diverse artists and artwork within its historical and social context.

  • Connection to artists that work in many disciplines, from Fine Arts (e.g. visual arts, 2D/3D sculpture) to Performing Arts (e.g. music, dance, spoken word) to Culinary Arts and Gardening.

  • Flexible programming (PreK – Grade 12) that is tailored to meet the needs, interests, and goals of each organization.
