Join us in sharing the joy of the arts and youth!

Arts for Learning Miami (A4L) is proudly exhibiting student artworks, along with photos of programs in action, highlighting local children and youth, various art styles, and the connection between arts and learning!

Having been apart of LAS for a few months, I’ve learned how to express myself in my art. My artwork is made from oil pastel and it is a breakfast scene combined with my imagination. Thank you, Arts for Learning and Lewis Arts Studio. 

Mikaela

As an LAS participant for almost two years, I’ve learned to step out of my comfort zone and try new things such as new mediums. My artworks are made from graphite pencil and charcoal, they are observational pieces. One is a self portrait and the other is a drawing of a house. Thank you Arts for Learning and LAS. 

Cade

During my three years at LAS I’ve learned about all the elements of art, but I love form. My artwork is made of watercolors and it is a still life from observation. My artwork is made of colored pencil. It is about diversity, which is very important to me. Thank you Arts for Learning and Lewis Arts Studio.

Levi

Throughout my three years in LAS for three years I’ve not only improved my own artistic skills, but also learned to use art as a tool to express myself and visualize my thoughts. This particular artwork is made from oil pastels, it is an observational drawing based on a breakfast of life.  Beyond art as a whole I believe my time with arts for learning and Louis art studio has allowed me to grow as a person.
