    Hello to everybody
    and wishes for a happy, healthy and inspired New Year!

    I'm compiling a list of myths about art and art education-- false beliefs
    and negative stereotypes people have. For example, "Artists are irresponsible
    and selfish," or "Only a gifted few can learn to draw," or "Art skills don't
    have anything to do with academic skills."

    Think of it as a list of UN-truisms about art.

    Here's why I'm taking on this project:

    I teach art at a charter school in Boston. My students are from many
    different backgrounds and age between 10-15. I will be making presentation
    about what I am teaching in art class. Our school is based on Asian culture
    and learning standards. To spice up my presentation I plan to pass out snacks
    to everyone before I start --fortune cookies (or cupcakes, whichever time
    permits), each containing a myth/false stereotype about art or art education.
    A little "food for thought" followed up some positive assertions about art
    and art ed.

    Please email an art myth if you can think of one! Myths with humor are
    particularly delectable. I will email the list of UN-truisms to everyone once
    it is made.
