Meet Mike Venezia — international author and illustrator. Mike's books introduce children to art, music, and history in an unstuffy, fun way.
His series "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists" is the Children’s Press #1 Best Selling book series. This is just one segment of his wildly popular collection of books: “Getting To Know the World’s Greatest Composers,” the “World’s Greatest Inventors and Scientists” and “US Presidents.”
So many parents think that art is something that your kid brings home from school, that you hang on the fridge for a week. But it’s much more important than that.
Schools must encourage creativity. And art is the key to unlocking that creativity.
Art, dance and music are as important as math and science. If you're going to be a math person, you can be better if you're creative. If you're going to be a scientist, you can be better if you're creative.
