The National Arts Club, located in the historic Tilden Mansion at 15 Gramercy Park South, was built in the 1840's. Its original flat-front, iron-grilled appearance matched the style of the houses still maintained on the west side of Gramercy Park. Samuel Tilden acquired 15 Gramercy Park in the 1860's, and in the 1870's gave the house a massive overhaul hiring Calvert Vaux, a famed architect and one of the designers of Central Park to "Victorianize" the facade with sandstone, bay windows and Gothic Ornamentation. John LaFarge created stained glass ceilings for the inside of the mansion, and Italian wood carvers made the fireplaces. Glass master Donald MacDonald wrought a unique stained glass dome for the building. All of this prompted architect Philip Johnson to call the mansion, "among the most beautiful in New York."

SE29 Learning through Movement Evaluation
In children, learning is mostly accomplished by doing. The shift to working with abstract concepts --especially written words and numbers -- can be concretized and made fun with gross motor and fine motor activities. Some children learn math better by stepping out the distance or jumping the numbers. Others read better if their eyes are activated to work together or to adjust to different distances. It can be exciting to learn the meaning of the word by acting it out and then spell it or write it. With a perceptual-motor evaluation (observing body coordination in combination with visual and auditory assessment) you will understand more about both your child's academic and physical learning style. Based on the evaluation and a discussion with you, children can be given creative activities that support their unique learning process. These strategies can be taught to you or to tutors for on-going follow-up.
