the image is the wrong size, unfortunately. I never thought this would be so popular, so I didn't think of making it a print. Maybe I will, though... I could change the size.

Great design! I really like it, and the idea behind it as well.
A lot of teachers for academic courses frown on art classes, but that's totally wrong. Art too, is important.

I could not agree with you more. The dumb school district doesn't look on arts and fine arts as greatly as they should, it relieves stress, calms the mind and body, opens up their imagination, and helps them with their career, I mean what, are they going to grow up to be a math matician?

I actually learn alot in my art class at school.
Just one benefit of learning under the Australian education system.

So true. I'm so happy I was able to take art classes in high school. It really meant a lot to me. I really learned a lot.

my school aswell-- I'm not worried about MY art class. And for 11th/12th grade, I want to go to this awesome art school, where I'll spend 4 hours in a class on the subject of my choice (2D Animation) and then have half-hour classes for everything else. AWESOME.

This is a fantastic poster and the issue is near and dear to my heart as well. It's such a shame when schools talk about budget cuts they always cut art programs first. They underplay the importance of arts in educational development. What they don't realize is that those are the classes that teach you the most. They promote mental development, creativity and self esteem in ways that other curriculum simply cannot. Hats off to you on a great poster for a great cause.

yup. Schools that have cut art + music classes have lower test scores and more discipline issues. They wind up spending more money on extra counseling staff and whatall than they saved by cutting creativity from their schedule.

And in the end they have no one but themselves to blame, which they refuse to do.

This is nicely done, I hope your teacher will recognise the artistic ability your poster displays as well as the message it is trying to convey! Simple yet effective!
