How do we make education relevant so that
it resonates with children, elevates them and
inspires them to see the world through a
different lens?

Helping children reach their creative potential

is our goal in Art Center for Kids.
Its a goal that demands a different approach
one that is adventurous, engaging and challenging. To that end, we provide students with
the tools they need to explore new solutions
and skills that give them confidence in their
creative ability.
Here in Art Center for Kids, we motivate
students to discover their inspiration and
express themselves in new ways. Our classes
mirror the many disciplines taught at Art Center
and are taught by members of the Colleges
communityfaculty, alumni, undergraduate and
graduate studentswho encourage new ways
of thinking, seeing and doing.
Art Center for Kids is open to students in
grades 48 at the Colleges Hillside and South
campuses in Pasadena.
We believe an art and design education can
improve childrens lives in many waysfrom
promoting collaboration to inspiring career
goalsbut no benefit is more important than
simply helping them see that they can turn
the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Fostering that belief is the mission of Art Center
for Kids.
Paula Goodman
Director, K12 Programs

Its not what you

look at that
matters, its what
you see.
Henry david thoreau

artcenter.edu/kids

If we want our kids to be creative, innovative and

experimental, we need to do more than foster
their ambition. We need to make sure they
develop their own methods of problem solving
while pursuing original and meaningful ideas.

Born in Los Angeles, Art Center alumnus
Ronald J. Llanos has taught in Art Centers
Public Programs for the past 10 years.
Llanos work depicts everyday moments of life
in L.A., whether its street vendors selling their
wares in downtowns Toy District or an homage
to Manets Bar at the Folies Bergres via Hot
Dog on a Stick. I was inspired by artists like
George Bellows and John French Sloan but
also by Looney Tunes cartoons from the 40s,
says Llanos, whos teaching Illustration for Art
Center for Kids Summer 2013 term.
Sunday, the work on this catalogs cover, is
part of Llanos ongoing Brown World series,
which refers both to his choice of paper stock
as well as the Latino community he chronicles.
I lived in Huntington Park for the first three
years of my life, which I can still vividly recall,
says Llanos. It all left an impression on me.
Llanos has shown at venues like Wax Poetic,
Cactus Gallery and Ghettogloss. And last year,
Los Angeles Metro unveiled his most ambitious
project to date: Ephemeral Views: A Visual
Essay. The public work24 large-scale mosaic
panels that depict L.A. street lifeis seen daily
by thousands of commuters passing through
Metros Expo/Western station.
