"Art is literacy of the heart" ~ Elliot Eisner

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." ~ Aristotle

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." ~ Henry Ward Beecher

"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." ~ Edgar Degas

"Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible." ~ Paul Klee

"Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life." ~ Henry Miller

"With a subject matter as broad as life itself, the arts easily relate to aspects of almost everything else that is taught." ~ Charles Fowler

"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." ~ Derek Bok

I have been so blessed to be able to work with the students at NCSD for over a decade! They have unselfishly given me more than I could ever give them. It has been an awesome, heart opening experience!

Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others’ lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare.: Helen Keller

What matters deafness of the ears when the mind hears? The one true deafness, the incurable deafness, is that of the mind” Victor Hugo
