In one of the poorest areas in Chicago art classes are changing lives.
At Legacy Charter School in North Lawndale – a long-impoverished neighbourhood on the west side of Chicago – they believe art creates successful children. All of their 500 pupils from pre-k to 8th grade have 120 minutes of art classes as well as additional music lessons with access to first class tools and materials. That is a lot more than most other public schools in the Chicago area.
