Art is sensitivity, compassion, and the quintessence of life. Teaching

Visual Art is just as much about teaching Humanity as it is about teaching the
Arts themselves. Art is highly applicable to any other subject, making it integral
to the deeper understanding of all other fields of study. Creativity is natural to
children, and when they inevitably ask why? an art teacher must be able to
provide a response that fuels that curiosity.
