  Case: Prestige for the subject of Art
Other subject area teachers indicate that art is not as important as other subjects, and this attitude is transferred to the students. How can help students and teachers understand the importance of art as part of school curriculum?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Art is an excellent form of expression. It can and should be incorporated into every subject. I would inform students that art is not just crafts and coloring. Art is music and photography but it is also the food that they eat (culinary arts) the clothes that they wear (fashion design), the books they read (literary arts), cartoons they watch (animation), and the movies they watch (special effects). Everything that they see, everyday, is the product of someone's creative expression. If they think these things are interesting and important then they are an art enthusiast and did not even realize it.
