Art is FreedomI want to teach others about art because art is a form of liberation of the mind, body, and soul. Our children, preteens, and teens in school would benefit from infusing art with their education. Although art is introduced and practiced in preschool up to elementary, the art activities focus on being product ended instead of enjoying the process of art. Being educated in a standardized system, our youths are imposed with expectations to be an ideal student, which is detrimental to their mental health. I believe teaching art is an opportunity for students to explore their creativity, imagination, exploration, self awareness, and self expression. Teaching art is a necessary lifestyle that all should have access to for self liberation.
