    > 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.
