We used it as part of geometry, history, botany and natural science, and even literature. I was only average by the standards of my schools child art education program, and yet my friends from different schools were blown away by what I could draw and paint.
When I had a kid of my own, however, I was surprised by how poor the child art education was in his school. It had a lot to do with the political climate in the state. child art educational funding had been being cut back because of the recession. A lot of people felt that it was a luxury that our kids would have to do without. I thought that was a horrible way of thinking about it. Art and art appreciation should be part of everyone's experience. I hated to think of my kid growing up without the child art education I grew up with.
I was friends with another parent at the school who happened to be somewhat of an expert on the subject. She had actually studied early childhood art education in school as part of her degree, and she felt as strongly about it as I did. We got into a long discussion about it, and she agreed to help me to start an advocacy group. We decided to do all that we could to make people in the state aware of the importance of child art education.
It was slow going at first. Neither of us had a lot of experience leading and organizing that sort of group before, so it was a nightmare to get off the ground. Fortunately, we soon had help. There were a few parents that we met who had even stronger feelings about child art education than we did. They got involved in the group, bringing a lot of fire and fury along with them. Soon, we were really starting to make a few waves. We were not exactly taking the state by storm, but we were getting our voices out there.
Since then, child art education has really started to pick back up in the state. I can not take full credit for this, because our group was not solely responsible. The economy picked back up, and suddenly there was money for arts in the schools again. Still, I like to think that I helped things along in some small way.
