Artist Statement*

I have learned so much about art since I was in 2nd grade. I have so much more respect and understanding about it now. Thanks to my art teachers along the way. I believe that everyone should have respect for art and understand it more. I know that when I was young I didn't understand it at all, let alone like it. I always had an interest in it. But I always thougth that art should perfect. I never understood the art that didn't look like anything, or looked like a 2 year old did it.
Over the years I have been inspired by my teachers and thier effort to try and teach such a complicated subject. I have been inspired to do the same. I want to teach children about art. I want to teach them why art is so much fun, and how some art that looks dumb is actually really important. I want to let children know that art is something that is valuable to us. It's something that keeps our world going round.
My teachers tought me a lot about art, and why art is important to our society. There's all sorts of art, formal, expressional, and so on.. art puts feelings and words out in a thinking way. You don't have to argue with the artist, just their work. Art gives you something to think about. Also, art is put out to say something about our world and the people in it. I want to show children all of this. I want them to be inspired by me teaching them abotu the subject of art, and ehy art is art. I would have so much fun teaching children, and having them do little pieces of art work. It's my dream and I will pursue it.
