*Why make art?*
Ula, age 9, has a wonderful answer. Click on the arrow to see what she wrote.
"Grab brushes and paint, and paper. Art is good to get your mind off stuff. If you are in a bad mood art can calm you down, art is fun to do when you are bored, and art can get your mind off all the drama.
When you paint with the brushes it could show your feelings. You can feel your feelings on the paper with the brushes.
If you have nothing to do, you could do art. Art can make you less bored. You can draw outside at the park so you can remember when you went to the park and you had fun.
If you are having a bad day you can paint how you are feeling and you can read it and say I don’t want to feel this anger I want to feel happy.
I hope that you agree that art is a great way to take your mind off stuff. I would like people to be happy and not to be mad. They could do something mean to others. I think if we feel mad that people should try to art to relieve the angry. I think that we should set up some paint and paper with the brushes so when people can dip the brush in the paint and paint away."
