Lauren Perelmuter, of Torrance, Ca., started a workshop 9 years ago addressing art and it has turned into a program serving over 900 students in the area.

Students recently spent  an afternoon participating in a lesson provided by Art to Grow on Children’s Art Center Inc., a program that brings art education into local classrooms. For inspiration, the students were given examples of work by Degas, the 19th-century French impressionist.

“We want to promote dialogue and increase self-esteem.” Perelmuter said. We couldn’t agree more!
