The reason why I love art is because I can be free to be creative and draw. I use my imagination. I've liked art ever since I was little. I was even a good drawer for a kindergardener. I think that I was meant to be a great artist.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to have art class because you can use your imagination and express your feelings in art. Then you can be very creative.

I love art because it is very unique, and clever. What do you do in art that can be fun? You can draw, paint, and color. You can also express yourself and how you feel and no one can judge you. Even though people can think art can be boring, but when you get to know it and express your feelings it makes you feel great!
ReplyDeleteI think art is important because it brings the essential part of you out and you can express it unlike other electives. Lastly, you can enter fun contests and maybe win something! As the best teacher ever says and I agree with her was, "don't break my heart. save art." I LOVE ART!!!!!

we love art because we use our imaginations to express are feeling and then put in a drawing. It is important to have art class because it helps you to be unique and original. Also it helps us use the right side of our brain because the right side is the creative part and a essential part of a childs growth and development!

I like art for many various reasons. It would be such a shame if it got taken away from the school, then others wuldn't be able to experience and embrace the awesomeness of art. It would also leave a very good art teacher having to do something she doesn't love. It alllows you to express how you feel in different ways such as drawing, painting, etc. You can put down onto paper whatever you would like, and no one judges anything you put; it's all based on you and what YOU want to do.
ReplyDeleteArt is important because You can use it for valuable reasons in life. What if someone needed an opinion on a piece, but you didn't know anything about it? That's why art would help you out. Art is a good elective and it is very helpful and also just simply fun.
We love art because you can express your feeling and expressions through your artwork. We can be free to explore and create our own artwork. Art is very unique and clever in many ways. You can draw, paint, and color in many different ways. When you make something or draw something that is very good it makes you feel great and makes you feel that you did something good in life!
ReplyDeleteArt is important because you can use the right and left side of the brain to be unique, creative, oringinal, and you can express yourself. Art makes you calm down and lowers your blood pressure. Art can be given to anyone or anything.

I like art because you can do many things. For example you can express your feelings, imaging, be original, and unique. It will be very heart breaking if art is not available next year because they would not have the opertunity to express themselves, have fun, and be more opened to other people. You also learn the quality of art and be able to do what you want to do. You do not need to follow certain instructions, you are just free to draw or create what is in your mind. So one last thing to say is PLEASE do not take art away!!!!

Art is important because its lets you expres your feelings and your free to draw and write or make whatever you want too. Art is also important way to help you be unique and be original and other things. In art you can also be creative and express your feelings when your mad or sad or even happy. In art you can just be creative with doing anything by expressing your self.

ReplyDeleteThere are many reasons why I like art. There is a lot of cool stuff to do, like having painting parties and entering contests where you can win prizes. We get to have fun, be creative, be original and unique. It would be very dissapointing if we did not have art anymore. Not only would the students be dissapointed, but also Ms.Kaplanis would be left doing something other than art,

We love art. It lets us express ourselves in every way possible. it lets be creative people be creative. In art class the homework is actually fun and interesting. Our favorite parts of art are; painting, working with clay, and oil pastels. With art there are no limitations. We have the best art teacher ever. We are lucky to have such an amazing art teacher. Some other reasons we love art so much are, free drawing, working with our hands. Without art, our days would be nowhere near as interesting as they are. Art is important because it lets us express out true feelings. It is fun. No one can judge you on your art. It lets me be creative as we possibly can. These are some of the few reasons we love art.

We luv art because Ms.Kaplanis is the best. Art changes our mind, to a more peaceful mind. It takes us to a different perspective of mind. We think it is important to have art class because art gives us the advantage to make wonderful creations with our minds!!!!!!!!!!

Why i love art? I love are because it is fun. When in art i can paint and free draw. And in art you can become a better artist. And I can draw or paint pictures for your family. And in art class you can express your fellings on paper. when there is an art contest you will have a chance to win things. When Ms. Kaplanis gives us a chance to win nice things. in art she teaches you new techiques of new art.
ReplyDeleteIt is imporant to have art class. Because you can have the most fun of the day. I like art better than all the other electives. when she gives you a homework assignment you are learing about some ohter subjects.

I love art because its very creative and it is the only time we can express our feelings to draw. It is all so fun to just doodle on the page.
ReplyDeleteArt is very important because their is diffrent styles of art. Its very important because you can really have fun with friends and you are drawing about life and other ideas. So it is like history class you learn about it and you write it down on a piece of paper but in art you draw some place or time in history.

I love art because it's like a way to show how you feal on paper. Art class is important to me and other people because it's a great class and whenever I am in art class I can do work while i'm with my friends and while we all are sharing our fealings. Its a way to have fun, while learning new skills. Art even has mixed ways to show your other classes like drawing a picture of a time period and how it changed. Without art class it would be a horibbly boring day. Art class is very important to me and other students, because it's a way for us all to express our fealings on paper, and also everyone can have different ways to make art, which makes it more great.

I think art is important in life. Art can be in many different forms. There is culinary arts, for cooking, fine arts for panting, etc. Art is important because without art there wouldn't be very many ways to express yourself. Art is an important elective in middle school because without art class there wouldn't be that many more fun electives.
ReplyDeleteI like art class because I can express how I feel. Without art, it is like a world without color. I would be bored a lot because at home I like to draw.

ReplyDeleteScottwork
Per.1
Hi People of America, I think it's a bad idea to cut art. I think this because you could just cut some other teachers pay to fund for art for at least another year. If you do this then probably by next year everything will be fixed and you can still keep art and raise the teachers pay again.
ReplyDeleteI also think this is a good idea because art is such a special class. You can express your feelings and not get arrested. It's such a nice class with a thoughtful teacher who wants to keep her class and her little artists. She doesn't want a different class and neither do I.

Art is essential to a childs growth. It lets them express themselves and allows them to balance school and fun. Art is a way to give freedom to a child or a adult. I love art because it is a great way to leave the rest of the world and focus on something not of the world. It lets you focus not on what the media says, it is just you and your artwork.

I luv art because when I am in the classroom I feel like can just be myself and nobody can critisize my about anything. I think that it is important to have art class because as kids we need a way to let out our emotions. After every day when I get home I will sit on the couch and watch some TV after a while I feel like I need to let out my emotions and I am not aloud to yell in the house so I get out my scetch book and start to draw. After I finish I have already forgotten why I was drawing in the first place.

i think art is very wonderful to have in school because everybody loves art. it expresses how we feel in many ways. that`s what I really think. and what about those people who want to become artist? they really must feel very down right now because that`s what they want to do in the future and that`s valuable to them. and i also love art because we have painting parties. also because we have the best art teacher in the world and we would really miss her and we want her to be with us for the rest of the school year and we all love her a lot because weve learned everything we know from her and we owe it all to her! thank you ms.kaplanes!

I love art because you can interpret it any way you like. You are also free to love or not love pieces..... and that is OK! You can spend hours, minutes or hardly any time at all with a piece of art and not be chastised or thought less of. When I go to a gallery, there are things I really love, things I really dislike and things I look and can't decide whether I like or dislike because I am confused. When this happens, I am usually trying to figure out what the artist is trying to tell us or "what were they thinking?! (in my best doctor Phil voice)." Art can serve as an outlet for emotions, a way of expressing oneself when there are no words and as an outlet for stress.
ReplyDeleteWhile I have always toward the more logical side of things, my mother was an artist and so is a very dear friend of mine. I've modeled for both and have found the experience to be both relaxing and emotionally cleansing. You feel as if you've had a sense of renewal almost like a spa day or a great vacation.
I still have many of my mother's pieces hanging in my home and they embody who she was and what she was like much better than any photograph ever could.
-Ms. Haynes
We love art because of many different reasons. First of all, because Ms. Kaplanis is FANTASTIC!! We can express our feelings through art, depending on if your happy, sad, depressed, extatic, excited, broken hearted, or even in love. Art showspart of you without being judged by others. There is no bad and good in art. Everything is beautiful in it's own special way. You can always be imaganitive. So, if you take art away from us, you are taking creativity away from our lives and no one will be able to express themselves.

I love art because it gives mme a way to vent my emotions. Much of the time i have all these emotions bubbling up inside of me and art gives me a way to vent all of those emotions. I also love to work with paint and pastels and clay. Art is one of my favorite classes in school. It's sooooooo much fun to be able to make beautiful works of art. One of mt favorite things about art is when I do a picture and it turns out just the way i wanted it to. There's nothing like that sense of pride and accomplishment when you finisha beautiful peice of art. Keep art in our schools. If art is taken from our schools it will be awful.

Art is the one thing that let kids express their feelings. There are a million ways to be creative in art. There is no right or wrong in doing art. No one can be perfect. Art is the one thing which doesnt matter about you but how you express yourself in the artwork you put on paper. When doing art you can relax and let everything off your shoulders.

I luv art because there is not a wrong and a right. You can draw whatever you want and no matter what it is it will wont be right or wrong. I also luv art because it can mean whatever you want it to mean. Art is one of my favorite subjects and I would be mad if there was no more art class.
ReplyDeleteWith out art the school would be very different and many people would be upset. The school would also be different because many students would not have a good way to express feelings and might express their feelings in a bad way. I hope all schools will have an art class in the future!!!!!!

I luv art because it has many ways to express your feelings and you can be very creative. The things that I mostly love about art are using pastels. I love to smear the two colors together and make one beautiful color. Oh and bye the way I don't like the idea of the school board canceling art class at all. It was a very dumb idea of then

I love art because I can express my emotions and feelings through it. It gives me a chance to let out my creativity and my uniqueness. I is also really fun and most kids have been doing art since they were in preschool.
ReplyDeleteI feel that it is important to have art class because it teaches you to be creative, and how to use your expressions in it to show how your feeling. Also if you put your mind to it you will be proud and confident of the work you have done.

I love art because it is more then just pencil and paper. It takes you to another world. It's like there's no one else around you all the hate and suffering goes away. When you paint it's like it's only you and nothing can hurt you no matter what. It's just you and your feelings. You can express your self in any way shape or form. What you feel is what you paint. It's impossible to mess up a painting because it's you, your not perfect so your painting won't be either. It's a world where theres no such thin as a mistake. That is why I love art.

I love art because if you are painting a picture and you make a mistake, then it will still be considered art. There are no mistakes in art, no matter what you draw. In art you can express all of your emotions. Whether you are happy,sad,angry,etc. Anybody can make a masterpiece expressing what they feel. I think the government is being stupid by cutting art class because everybody needs to use the right side of your brain. If you don't,you'll never get to be able to express your creativity and your feelings. Because all of your feelings and creativness will be locked inside of your body forever! So PLEASE let the government think twice.

The are many reasons of why I luv art. First, Without art, students wouldnt be able to express thier emotions or feelings through a beautiful piece of artwork whether you're happy, sad, anxious, etc. Second, There is no right or wrong. Your piece of artwork is never a mistake. Sometimes, were all searching to find no mistakes and art helps you feel that. Last, Art classes provide students a chance to develop their creative skills and thier amazing imagination.
ReplyDeleteArt class is so important to have for many reasons. First, it is confirmed that Arts education strengthens student problem-solving and critical thinking skills, adding to overall academic achievement, school success, and preparation for the work world. Second, for some students, Art is their motivation for coming to school and an area(or a bubble) where they have success or excel, providing an important balance in their total educational experience. Lastly, art's education helps develop a positive work ethic, flexibility, and pride in a job well done. *Please, don't take art away from us. It's our only way to express in a fun way who we really are.

I think art class if fun because you can go to the painting parties. It is important because art can make you feel happy and you can express yourself through art. As long as you do the work you can get a good grade even if you arne't the best artist. I liked the clay animal project the best.

I luv art because you can express all your emotions and feelings that you have inside. I luv art because there are a lot of different ways you can do it such as different materials, not like math where you have one formula and everything goes by that rule. Art is a good way to exercise your brain and keeps you thinking with new challanges and stradegys. Art can be for everyone. Art has no judgement and is never wrong. You can be yourself. It is also a fun way to take up time other then watching tv or always being on the computer. I luv art because it lets me be free in my mind and shows who I am or what I am feeling.

ReplyDeleteI like art because you are able to express your feelings. I enjoy drawing scenes of nature. It is fun for me to draw the pictures and it is probably fun for artist to do so also. Artists went to some kind of art class when they were younger exposing them to try art. Since they took that class and practiced, they became a famous artist. If people take away art class, students might forget or not have time to do art. There will eventually be fewer artists and fewer beautiful pictures in the world. Art makes people happy and kids too. By cutting out the art class, the students would have less opportunities to be open too. There are a lot of students who take art because they like it. Please do not take out art class as you would be hurting the students.

Art is a place where me, and others like me can really shine and have fun. Art is that one class in everyone's day that they aren't stressed out about and that they can look forward to.
