Imagine! Someone ending up on this blog as a result of a google search of the above! For some reason, according to my blog stats and google search referrals, everyday there is at least one view of this blog by someone looking to test elementary age students in art. If you have read much of this blog at all you’ll understand why I think this is so hilarious!
Now they’ll end up on this post and wonder why. Maybe they’ll read a few posts and leave a comment.
Maybe they don’t teach in California public schools.

Yes we think it’s the most ridiculous thing every heard of but with the whole world driven toward data we are afraid that if we don’t try to come up with our own first some idiot who doesn’t know anything is going to come in and make them up for us. Also afraid that if we can’t “prove” our worth they will cut us one day.

good point heather. although i’m not sure i subscribe to this solution even thought i don’t have another to offer at the moment. the idiots are already in charge here-art for elementary kids is but a thing of the past. let us know how it works out for you.
CA established “standards” for art (along the lines of math and reading) which are completely ignored.
i still favor bucking the system as opposed to submission. taking my crayons elsewhere to color…
