This blog is a compilation of conversations between my students, other teachers, the parents and I. My purpose is to illustrate the importance of art education in my local community. The arts allow the children’s spirit of their imaginations to soar and creates a deeper understanding of the world around them.

So, today in art...Student 1: When you wear red and
walk into a room people shout Kool-Aid. Student 2: Well, when you
were brown people think that you are an African American. Me: I
don't know how to take that one. I mean, I am not sure if it’s racist or
what?!?! I am just confused. Student 2: No offense.

So, today in art...Student: Mr. Smith? Are cheetahs scared of winos? Me: I 'm gonna say no. Student: But why? Me: Well, what is a wino gonna do to a cheetah. A cheetah is a big cat, fast, and has all those teeth. A wino will not be able to run from the cheetah without falling down...I mean its a wino. I mean what is the wino gonna do, hit the cheetah with his bottle. Bhahahahahahah. You guys ask some of the strangest questions. Student: No Mr. Smith...a wino with a horn. Me: Oh, a rhino. Then yes, a cheetah maybe scared of a rhino.
So, today in art...Student: Mr. Smith? When you die I will be at your funeral throwing egg rolls on your casket has it goes down into the ground instead of roses. Me: Why? Student: Because I know how much you love egg rolls. Me: But why do I have to be dead in this scenario? Well, it wouldn't make sense if I was just throwing egg rolls at you while you are alive. Anyway...I will throw hundreds, no thousands and I will be happy. Me: Why would you be happy at my funeral? Students: Because I know you would be in heaven eating all those egg rolls. Me: But still, why do I have to be dead? Student: I don't mean like any time soon...I mean like when I am 80 years old and you are like 1000 years old. Me: How old do you think I am? You know what??? Never mind.

You would be Gravity, cause you are always falling down, proving the
theory of gravity is true.
