"Susana Lasta's integrative approach to learning is on the cutting-edge of education in Santa Clara Valley." Blanca Alvarado, Vice-Mayor of San Jose, September 15 1994.

"This was an outstanding curricular project that we would like to have replicated throughout our school next year. The program benefited the students as they enhance their reading and writing through hand-on activities. It helped the students by developing their visual-perceptual intelligence." Gay Krause, Principal, Graham Middle School, Mountain View, June 20, 1996.

"Your efforts to provide the teachers with methods to integrate art into the core subjects are commendable." Dr. Charles Parchment, Director Language Development Dept. Franklin McKinley School District, August 10, 2001.

"I think the experiences the children have had integrating art with social studies have particularly contributed to a more comprehensive and internal knowledge of the areas studied. Any one of my students would be able to explain at least two or three of the causes of the Revolutionary War simply because they were asked to persuade through a poster, someone to join one side or the other. They can also speak much more fluently about that subject because of their experiences. (…) Not only have the students benefited, but I, as a teacher, have gained highly useful information and tools for evaluating my students. The Integrative Art Experience allowed me to discover strength in children I might easily have given up on because of their lack of participation in regular class work. I have much more-rounded view of each of my students and greater understanding of how, individually, they learn best." Mary Maulhardt, Menlo Oak School, April 22, 1993.

"As a newcomer to education, it's great to see something you could see believing in." Anne Chillders, Watsonville School, June 2002.

"Overall, the students and myself thoroughly enjoyed the program. It was well thought out and planned. As a teacher, I felt I was able to be part of the planning and process." Ms. Nielsen, Seven Trees School-5th G, February 22, 1995. 

"But what I really liked was putting it all together in my mind.." Jason Lynch, 5th Grade student, Clifford School, Redwood City, 1991
