Artful Reading


STUDIO is pleased to share resources with parents, teachers, artists, and others in the arts-in-education field. This section will grow over time to include lesson plans, guides, reports, glossaries, bibliographies, and more -- all intended to assist in establishing a place for art in each child's day.

  • The Bank Street College of Education conducted a half-year study of STUDIO's Early Childhood Program. Working in public-school kindergarten classrooms (at STUDIO sites and control sites), the Bank Street researchers studied the effect of the program on children's academic learning, with a particular focus on expressive language.

  • "Creating Room for Art" provides helpful ideas for establishing art - making it and valuing it - as a vital part of the school day. The pamphlet, created for STUDIO by Artist/Instructor Kristi Pfister, was developed for classroom teachers but can also be adapted by parents for conducting art activities at home.
