Most people (especially parents and grandparents) would agree that the most amazing things happen when you give children art supplies.  Can you imagine what would happen if you gave them art supplies in Math class? 

 Smiles of disbelief, and smiles of excitement , giddy grins of anticipation spread around room 107 like peanut butter as I unpacked the bags… Yes! I am an artist. Yes! We are going on a journey!  Smell these Sunflowers- carefully, they are for your teacher to keep- notice how the petals meet. Yes an artist painted the Sunflowers, his name was Van Gogh, have you ever seen a Starry Night?

The Artists as Educators Program is made possible through a working partnership between the Cultural Alliance, the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham and the Birmingham City School System.
