Art is much more than developing creativity in a single course. The skills my students learn to cross over into academic achievement, reduce mental stressors, and allow students to understand more about themselves and their perspectives. These art supplies will give my students an opportunity to explore different mediums and make them a more diverse artist. My visual art classes strengthen problem solving and critical thinking skills, focus, and collaboration. As an art teacher, I can say that art teaches children to think openly; it represents a culture of questioners more than a culture of responders. With these tools learned by the students, I can teach and introduce them to a variety of artists and styles of art from realism to abstract. Each student will have the opportunity to find their own personal style of art and continue to hone their skills as an Artist.
