Here are some photos of art work done by my former ASD Elementary School students, 1999. The schools are Raub(5th grade) and McKinley. And below is a landscape done by one of my South Mountain Middle School students, 2001.
The kids were so proud to be included in the Elementary School Art Exhibit at the Allentown Public Library. It's a shame that today, with the budget cuts and lousy No Child Left Behind mandated curriculum, the arts are viewed as unnecessary educational frills, and arts programs are being cut all across the country. I'll be posting an essay about the importance of the arts very soon.
