Art Education

Nearing the end of my blogs I found myself lost for words. I was having trouble thinking of another blog so I decided to google 'art education' to see if that sparked any ideas. I clicked on images and found some interesting thing. There were a few things that I noticed about most of the photos. Many of the photos were of younger children. To me that says that many people think of art education as something for little kids. It says that people think that the only think that is done in the art room is coloring with crayons and that there is not any learning that actually takes place. Another aspect that i noticed was that most of the pictures were very colorful and involved either painting or drawing. These pictures barley touch upon the surface of what is encompassed in art education. There are many other projects that could have been included such as sculpture (ceramics), mixed media, collage.... I am offended that many people do not understand what art education entails. 

These are some of the photos that are found on google when you art educations:

Although both of these images portray a positive outlook, I do not think that all the photos as a whole represent all aspects of art education.
