My Thoughts on Art in the Classroom: Kids say, "I love art, let’s create something!" Adults say, "My child loves to draw and color, why don’t they have an “A” in art class?"
All this is true, however the reality of this statement is: Art is a school subject where we get graded on our efforts and ability, which can sometimes take the spontaneity out of just having fun. I must follow an art curriculum and final grades are determined based on each project and art class grade.
It is my belief that art class should be a fun subject where everyone can succeed!
