She was very shocked and saddened by this. Art is her entire world (She would draw 20 hours a day if someone didn't stop her.. it's her A.D.D. obsession.) <br /><br />When I was in school, each week we an had art class and a music class. I hated art because I had no natural gifts or creativity (still don't). I loved music because I loved playing and singing (still do.) <br />:-)Michelle Cannonhttp://holistichomeschooler.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246403531974211447.post-32680976672390014662011-08-12T03:18:21.882-04:002011-08-12T03:18:21.882-04:00I am always surprised (and SAD!) at how little art...I am always surprised (and SAD!) at how little art education there is in public schools. Actually, even in some homeschools I know. I can only remember one or two art classes in all of my elementary school years. I certainly didn't learn about any famous artists or composers!<br /><br />So thankful, as always, for a CM education rich in the humanities and arts!Beckyhttp://beckyboop.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
