A   R  T 

Students being able to express themselves through ART.  I find that when I tell my students that we are going to have ART so many of them get so excited.  Many of those excited students are the ones that find it so hard to do some of the other subjects though thrive in the area of ART.  They are able to express themselves in this area so well, that for me, I feel it allows them the freedom of relaxation.  It gives them the opportunity in a more open platform which has this nice huge piece of paper to work with that makes them feel alive.  They don't have to fit the pencil in between those little two lines.  They have bigger spaces for the crayons and paints to fill in so they like that better.  I love to see their pictures as well as everyone's pictures, expressions of who they are.
