What art teachers really make:
- we make students learn to love their “mistakes” and look at erasers as violent weapons
- we make students look into a mirror and see possibilities instead of flaws
- we make students see beauty in a pile of trash
- we make students realize that creating Art takes thought, planning and practice
- we make students see through the eyes of our world’s history of artists
- we make students pour their guts out onto a page or into a lump of clay
- we make students create more than they thought possible
- we make faculty and staff see their students in a new way
- we make parents proud and jealous, because they “were never good in art” like their children
- we make reality-tv-free culture a hopeful possibility for the next few generations
- we make people believe that they can change the world with a pencil, a pixel, a camera or a block of stone
What do you really make?
