I've been battling the "I CAN'Ts" a lot in both schools, and lots of self-doubt. Every student is in fact an artist, you are making art! It doesn't matter if anyone likes is, if you like it that is all that matters. Many famous artists were rejected from galleries and museums, over and over again. They never gave up though! Next year I already have loads of amazing projects in mind but we need to believe we can create and that our ideas matter for anything of them to be successful. We'll be spending much longer on individual projects, making sure that all edges are covered and that there is no unintentional white space. "I can't", "This is Bad", and any variation of these words are banned in the art room!

The band Ok Go is a favorite among art teachers for their clean lyrics and innovative music videos. They make use of optical illusions and perspective tricks. I like to show students their work to question, 'what is art?'.
