This super quick (45 seconds long) art advocacy classroom video is perfect to present to your school board or community. It is an original jingle performed and presented by my 5th graders in a slick flash video medium with drawn images, photographs, text, and song. This video won first place in the Illinois Computer Educators' Classroom Video Contest 2007. It was presented at the Illinois Art Education Conference 2007, and featured in the Art Junction.org site.

Spread the word about how much our students are learning in our art rooms!
Lyrics:
There is more to making art
than just pleasing your eyes
Here is the place we
learn skills for our lives
to strategize
compromise
plan and visualize
integrate
concentrate
learn to relate
We're exposed to cultures
and eras in history
we're trained to be thinkers
with visual literacy
we fine tune our motor skills
while growing in self-esteem
we follow directions
and understand sequencing
in ART!
Tricia :)Don't forget to rate me.
