    everything... and not by memorizing it!

    Here's a little informal brainstorm...not elegant.
    I want them to know they can use art to express themselves for themselves
    or for others. I want them to know that it is a universal language that
    has been, is, and will be used throughout history to commmunicate
    intentionally or unintentionally with others of their culture and time, and
    for those in others. I want them to understand that anything in their
    world can have a relationship with art, a connection, an avenue of
    dialogue. That a picture can be worth a thousand words, if you know how
    to read pictures. And of course, all the other important things like the
    skills to be able to communicate through a visual language to their fullest
    potential. And all the National Standards stuff. THere are so many
    functions and concepts to explore. Theres so much I want them to
    know...but most importantly, I want them to know HOW to learn, HOW to see,
    HOW to analyze, HOW to use, and HOW to see multiple perspectives of art.
    That way they can keep on doing it for life.

    (good question, we should ask ourselves this often!)
