Art, whether in or outside the classroom, formal or informal, professional or amateur, can also empower a child, which is why Leslie Davies encourages her daughter's artistic expressions. Lindsey is now a kindergarten student at LMMA and a member of the school's drama club. She also likes to write stories in her class journal. "Although she can't spell well yet, she writes her stories phonetically and thinks of herself as being a writer," says Davies.

A variety of early experience with the arts is bound to support a child in finding his or her own "true north."
