Mona Rae Chido Gross Collections
Here's what the Chido Gross kids have to say about their art experiences.
"You learn a lot more about history when you study art too."
~ Jackson, age 14
"Studying art gives you more respect for people in history. They had to make everything themselves! I made a small fresco and it was hard. Can you imagine what Michelangelo had to go through to make the Sistine Chapel?"
~ Mona Rae, age 16
"Art is like a geode - even in the harshest times, art is the diamond in the rock."
~ Georgia, age 14
"I think art in general just makes you a better person." ~ Mona, age 16
"You don't have to be an artist to be an artist. If you really believe you can do it then you can do anything."
~ Georgia, age 14
"I love drawing. I love making stuff with Mom." ~ Louis, age 12
