Art needs to make a comeback!

I'm going to stand on my soapbox for another moment... We need art class back in the elementary schools full-time. Students need to enjoy drawing for the sake of drawing a beautiful picture (while learning art curriculum). This shouldn't be left up to the classroom teacher. You know it is!
*Side note, I don't teach the art curriculum.  I do however try to infuse art elements into their assignments. However, the only mediums I have at my immediate and daily disposal are crayons, colored pencils, and markers.

Thank goodness once again for the parents in my school.  They step up every month and teach art to all the grades.

This past week they learned about Mardi Gras masks and they loved it!

Here are some of their creations!
Enjoy!
