“I am a teacher at heart and have a degree in Art Education with over 10 years of teaching experience. I was that preschool teacher that told you what was up with your kid (whether you liked it or not) and the art teacher that had students do the super-messiest projects in high school – and also encouraged them to think outside the box.”

Good article regarding preserving art, music and physical education in our nation’s elementary schools. The article author’s own children are grown now. Even so, she felt strongly enough about this issue to write about it and publish it in the online “Amherst Bulletin“.

Check out what the kids in The Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia are doing to express themselves through art while beautifying the city! Visit VISUAL CULTURE (Connect, Create, Inspire) to learn about what these awesome kids are up to. Perhaps you can start a mural arts program in your community!

This will allow them to still reap the many benefits that art education provides.
