Kids are naturally gifted at art from a very young age. The problem is when they get older and become self-conscious. The process should always be fun, though.

I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.

If it's taught well, art really is important to kids early on. It helps children develop language and allows them to see themselves in a way that isn't right or wrong, because if they draw an animal with five legs instead of four, nobody's criticizing them for it.

We are all born artists... Almost everything kids do is art.

Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.

Art is about the messy and marvelous business of coming to your senses - and also, to the senses of the world.

Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.

Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.

Art is a sense of magic.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.
