A Year with Children 2012 showcases the imaginative artwork of 2nd- through 6th-grade students participating in the Guggenheim Museum’s Learning Through Art (LTA) program. Founded in 1970, LTA sends teaching artists into New York City public schools in all five boroughs to provide yearlong art residencies that support the curriculum while developing artistic, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
