Why Art?
I love this video because it is a really good way to explain why Visual Arts Class is so important. I find at my schools that not only do I struggle with the students seeing the importance of my class. But worse I feel that I have to justify the importance of the class to the administration. I currently teach at 3 private schools, and one school definitely does not see the importance of the class. To add to that, for the past 2 years the school has provided me with ZERO DOLLARS to buy supplies. Thats right, I have not Art Budget or Funds. To add insult to injury, the principal insinuates all projects can be done with markers and color pencils. When she describes lesson plans, she always uses an example of learning about "Jonny Apple Seed." If your confused to what she is referring to, you are not alone. I have no clue what that has to do with learning about the Elements of Art or Principles of Design. I think my first hurtle with creating an Art Show at this school, will be...
I love that you will be creating your own art show! What a great idea. What type of art displays/projects will you be showcasing? I also agree visual arts are vital for all students to experience and learn the importance of arts in our community.
