Several of our schools in this area have cut back on band and art. A local band that at one time had a huge number of students marching in contests and going to state finals, now has 6 members. Art classes have also been cut. It is just too sad!
This was an amazing thought, Beth. Great “find” and supportive of art in education. Some students feel the most comfortable in art class or with teachers like you, Beth, who let them choose from a wide variety of materials. Exploring the arts (music, too) really frees all of our souls.
Hi dear Beth, I’m sorry for my mistake, I wanted to send a repoker of hearts. But I must to tell you I adore all the freehand writings and the abstraction of this background is full of colour and evocative shapes. A million of congrats.
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Terrific quote. This is why there should be more opportunity for creativity in the schools rather than less.

This is so true, Beth. And important.

That’s true, although in my school, art had the role of accompanying rude limericks on the walls.
