An important component of our teaching is sensory learning. Due to cognitive challenges our students face, incorporating sensory opportunities is a valuable way our help students learn.
Tracking

Tracking
The tracker, in this case, Lavina Anderson, the instructor for the the Flying Arts program, tracks the student's laser and applies paint in those spots. The laser allows the student to show the tracker exactly where to paint.

By showing the student the work that they created, and by being excited about what is produced, students share in the rewards that come from artist expression and creativity.

The artwork produced through Flying Colors is framed and then showcased in various places, including across campus. Recently, our students' artwork was displayed in a major art museum! Art can also be bought, with a large portion of the proceeds going to the students and their families.
Exciting news
A is For Artist
From October 6th through November 26th, thirteen of our students had artwork from our Flying Colors program displayed in the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago. The exhibit was called “A is For Artist” and featured works created by adults and students with disabilities. It is such an honor to have had our students and clients works displayed in a museum of this magnitude.
