Introduction To Art Class

Teaching drawing is teaching people to look.

There is a relationship between history, philosophy,politics and art.

Creativity is critical thinking and without it how do you open up and ask harder questions?

Art opens passages to think beyond what you already know.

You don't have innovation (something new or different introduced)  if you don't have art.

It doesn't matter what you decide to study, you still need to be creative because the outliers in any occupation are the most creative people.

Our best industry is the creative industry.

Art and cultural production is  the very center of what makes a society what it is and for an entire generation not to know what is the cultural and visual history of ourselves is denying our identity.

Art is the refection of the society we are; It can help define the identity of a nation.

Art is all about kids finding out who they are and they are all different.

Art teaches you that  you can be whoever you want to be.

Art teaches you to deal with the world around you.  It is the oxygen that makes all the other subjects breathe.

Art shows us what it is to be human.
