More ART Matters Thoughts...

I was excited to be asked to submit a 50 word comment about why I think ART MATTERS...

Here's what I came up with (and 50 words aren't many - this was a tough task!)

ART matters because OUR CHILDREN MATTER!

…they need to communicate creatively and divergently in environments that encourage problem solving skills!

…they must be able to apply their knowledge to real world applications through their “Heads”, “Hands” and most importantly, their “Hearts”! 

…they must desire to stay in school…to learn…to express themselves…to care! 

…they need to understand that ART documents our past, our future and perhaps most importantly, OUR NOW!
