PROJECTS:
Color Wheel Studio opened in 2010 by Donald Jackson as a direct result of the lack of art education in the public school system. Operating as a children’s art school within the environment of a working artist’s studio, Color Wheel Studio seeks to engage children in a sensory filled journey of the world around them. Published and interviewed in several magazines and blogs, Donald Jackson continues to grow this unique vision of arts education picking up where the public schools never bothered to go.
