The Artist at Work Tapa dura - 2003

The Bank Street College of Education in New York City, often called "America's most trusted name in early education," is a private institution with a public mission--to make learning meaningful for all children. Created in 1916 as the Bureau of Educational Experiments, Bank Street today is a multifaceted learning community organized into three main programmatic divisions: Graduate School, Children's Programs, and Continuing Education. It also includes a Publications and Media Group that prepares learning materials for and about children in a variety of media. Bank Street's mission is to respond to the social and educational concerns of children and youth.

The "Come Look with Me" series was created by Gladys S. Blizzard, whose experiences as an art teacher and work as a curator of education at Bayly Art Museum at the University of Virginia served as the basis for this educational style.
