About ARTY Van Gogh: \;Artist and art teacher Libby Hodges had a vision for makin g art activities and visual arts education accessible to more people\, esp ecially children. From that desire came the idea for creating a mobile stu dio. After some research and a bit of scouting the Internet\, Libby found an International Navistar bus that had been retired from active school ser vice\, but still had many miles left to go. A team of dedicated\, tireless volunteers under Libby's direction transformed the bus into Arty Van Gogh\, complete with new flooring\, wor ktables\, seating\, and a paint job that turns heads wherever Arty goes.&n bsp\;The plan for creating a mobile art studio started with making sure th e space would be comfortable for students and functional\, considering all the various activities and styles of art that students get to work on.
