"I have been an art instructor for nine years and have
never witnessed a more potent and multi-dimensional learning vehicle.
The children were completely absorbed in the life and times of Pablo
Picasso, and were attentive and involved for the entire hour.
The information packet...fostered learning across the curriculum."

Valerie Dooley, Art Educator, Lindbom Elementary, Brighton, MI



"(The) program was informative, reflective, humorous.
I felt the students were captivated by the performer and the variety of
moods and feelings evoked from the program."

C. Bobel, Grade 1, SandyHook Elementary, Connecticut



"You are worth your weight in gold! As an art teacher for the
past three decades, I have never run into a school assembly program
that offered such an artistic feast for young students. The combination
of movement, setting, costuming, drama, comedy and biographical
storyline just blew the socks off our students and staff. The children
and adults were attentive and eagerly awaiting your next surprise."

Ellen Nicholas, Art Educator, Union Canal School, Lebanon, PA



"Your creativity and ingenuity made Picasso come alive to
students. The costumes and masks were spectacular. The hallways of
our school have been turned into a gallery...your program made art
history fun and exciting. Picasso now feels like an old friend to the
children."
Jean Cendali, Art Teacher, Haldane Elementary, Cold Spring, NY




























"Because the artist had lithographs of the works he was
creating, the children were so excited to watch them come to
life, to puzzle out which one would be next."

Jean Terry, Grade 1, SandyHook Elementary, Connecticut






"Although (Picasso's) genius had never particularly impressed me, I
was, nevertheless, mesmerized by your artistic and creative portrayal
of his talent and his intent.





Without hesitation I would recommend your performance to
any audience. Its modern interpretation blended the cultural aspects of
mime, music, dance and artistic impression in magnificent fashion."

Sister Anne Daniel, O.P., Principal, St. Denis/Columba School



"The performance itself was a pleasure to watch, with the
amazing masks and costumes, the exciting music, and the completely
entertaining blend of drama and comedy. Thank you again for an
excellent and enthusiastic performance!"

Mariann Smith, Albright Knox Art Gallery


"Dear Carlton, This is Nicole Popovich from Allegany-Limestone. It was
great having you at our school today! The students were so excited in
class today when we talked about the performance. Their re-enactions
of their favorite parts were quite impressive. They were full of
questions and we even were inspired to come up with some great ideas
for future art projects! The children down here are rarely exposed to the
arts. It is so important to me that they get this exposure. You were
terrific at this. I'm sure they will remember this day for years to come. I
take a graduate course at Buffalo State College with other area art
teachers. I will be sure to tell them all about what a great performance
"Picasso People" was at our school. I will do my best to promote this
fantastic show!! Thank you again,

Nicole Popovich and the students of Allegany-Limestone"
