Art Inspired By The Songs Of
John Lennon
March 8, 2020
The “Luminous Lenses” exhibition features original artworks that were inspired by the song lyrics of John Lennon.
Artworks were created by a roster of internationally acclaimed professional fine artists from the U.S, Canada, Portugal, France, and the U.K.
Luminous Lenses is a tribute to the creative vision of artists with learning differences like John Lennon who was dyslexic. Song-Word Art House will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork to support the Park Century School Scholarship Fund.
Park Century students typically have language-based learning issues such as dyslexia and, often, ADHD. For these and other learning differences, each child has a team of teachers who customize a program to their individual needs and strengths. These teachers also provide emotional support, which, in turn, fosters a healthy self-image in our students, empowering them to become advocates for their own education and active participants in their learning as they mature.
LA artists JD Shultz talks about finding inspiration and meaning in John Lennon's lyrics "Turn off your mind" from the classic Beatles song "Tomorrow Never Knows".
