    The first thing I want my students to take from art class is a new
    understanding of themselves as a special human being. I teach jr. high and
    the majority of my students have a very low self-esteem. To me art is the
    best class for fostering the "special" person. I am constantly telling my
    students their opinions and thoughts are special, that is one reason they
    should be themselves and not try to copy someone else.
    Of course, I hope my students learn to apply the elements and principles of
    art not only in the art work they create in my class, or when they are
    dressing each morning, but also in the future when they are decorating their
    homes.
