We do have the power to change our students' day for the better...AND we can ALWAYS change our situation for the better, too. ART is about creating! If you don't like a situation, create it new...resurrect it...change it from the inside out... The old joke is when art teachers get together they compare notes and try to out do each other by how bad they have it... e.g. I travel to 3 schools, but I have a room in each one. Oh yeah? I travel to 3 schools and have to use a cart in each one. Oh yeah? I have a room but it has no water. Oh yeah? I only get a closet, no water and no cart! oh yeah? They won't let me use paint in the new school...and on and on! You are amazing. You're an art teacher with unlimited powers. Be creative...for the positive...Realize what a unique chance we art teachers have to impact childrens' lives and our whole school environment and spirit! We are fortunate indeed!!!
