Imagine A World without Art

I'm thinking that I will start the school year with the question, What would your world be like with out art? http://www.schooltube.com/video/317b49e2762926b70d16/A-World-Without-Art

Circle painting sounds like a great idea to try at the beginning of the year! I love this idea. I think all grades- Young 5's through 8th will enjoy this.

Tips- me as a teacher of artists: where I share practical advice gleaned from 40 plus years of creating art

Revelations- me as a learner and seeker of art: where I explore creative thoughts relevant to my current work
