69. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">Marty Reid, an elementary art teacher working for a fundraising company, had an epiphany in 2000. While she appreciated the process of replicating children’s art on a variety of products to raise funds for schools, she and her husband recognized this type of fundraising program was cumbersome for the art teachers, and was focused primarily on the dollars raised, and did little to promote the accomplishments of the artist.</span></span></span><br />

Marty taught her team the rigors and challenges teachers face every single day and developed her system to fit them, not fight them. Using innovative techniques, they customized the program to promote each child — ensuring “every child felt like an accomplished artist” by having their artwork<br />published on something to share (regardless of whether funds were raised or not). As the company grew, the lesson plans improved and are the only art fundraising plans tied directly to national art education standards — making it a natural fit within the school curriculum.</span></span></span><br />

310. Most often, when schools work with Square 1 Art, I am told
311. that the money raised from the <a href="http://www.square1art.com/fundraisers" target="_blank">fundraisers will go towards art supplies for the department</a>.  Sometimes the money goes
312. towards playground equipment, or class trips, or other special projects that
313. the school has been looking to do. 
314. However, what happens when a school doesn’t have such needs?  What can you do when you want your school to

1753. <span style="font-size: large;">Developed in the late 60's and early 70's, <a href="http://www.drawright.com/" target="_blank">Betty Edwards</a> came up with the theory that we need to use the right side of the brain to learn how to draw.</span><br />
1754. <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
1755. <span style="font-size: large;">It is an interesting concept.  It states when learning how to draw most people view objects as symbols. Betty teaches us to view objects as shapes and lines. She does this through positive and negative space.</span></div>

1857. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">As a former art teacher, I used to teach this principle to my students.  I would teach contour drawing.  This exercise is an easy and informative way to get students started on learning how to “see”.  I would ask them to bring to school an object of their choice that had significant meaning to them.  They would be really interested in what they are drawing which allowed me to get them to focus on using the right side of the brain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1886. an ABC program on television called “<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/WhatWouldYouDo/syndrome-grocery-clerk-scenario/story?id=10648284" target="_blank">What would you do</a>”, hosted by John
1887. Quinones. The story line covered three different scenarios.  The first was
1888. on gay parents who were refused a meal at a restaurant. The second scenario was
1889. on a drunk a pilot who left a bar to fly a passenger jet plane noticeably
1890. intoxicated and the third one was about a woman who berates a clerk with Down
1891. syndrome at a grocery store.</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

1896. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">Frankly, I had
1897. to call on all of my physical strength to help me sit through that last one,
1898. but I am thankful for people like Linda Tapia, who stood firm for the young man
1899. that was bagging the groceries and challenged the abuser to back down; she is
1900. now counted in my list of favorite heroes.  Mr. Quinones then interviewed
1901. Madeline Will of the National Down Syndrome Society, after viewing the skit,
1902. she commented, "It's important to say, again and again, this is wrong,
1903. this is not fair, and this is not how we treat other people."  </span><o:p></o:p></div>

1908. been in a position or witness something that made you stop and run that

1910. scenarios were not farfetched; if truth be told, I am certain that all of us
1911. can place ourselves as one of the characters portray in the last story line as

1946. amongst us and in most cases, they are us. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
1947. <div class="MsoNormal">
1948. <br /></div>
1949. <div class="MsoNormal">
1950. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">After scanning
1951. the internet, I found a lot of useful information on how to deal with bullies
1952. and I concluded that bullying revolves around, choices, ignorance, and where a
1953. person is strategically or physically within a given situation. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
1954. <div class="MsoNormal">
1955. <br /></div>
1956. <div class="MsoNormal">
1957. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">The first two,
1958. choice and ignorance, are easy to understand, but allow me explain to you what
1959. I mean by, “Where a person is strategically or physically within a situation”
1960. with an analogy that I use from time to time of the cross walk; you might
1961. realize that you too might have been a bully at one time.  </span><o:p></o:p></div>
1962. <div class="MsoNormal">
1963. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here goes, at
1964. this crosswalk, there are four things, a stop sign, a vehicle and two people;
1965. one of these people is the driver of the vehicle and the other a pedestrian. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
1966. <div class="MsoNormal">
1967. <br /></div>
1968. <div class="MsoNormal">
1969. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">I would like
1970. you to first put yourself in the shoes of the pedestrian. The law says that at
1971. a stop sign the pedestrian has the right of way, you knowing this, start to
1972. walk cross to the other side. As you look you see an impatient driver and you
1973. think to yourself, I am in the right of way, so I am taking my time to cross.
1974. Now if you were the driver, your thoughts would probably be different. You
1975. probably thinking, I hope this clown picks up the pace, I would like to get on
1976. my way, or something like that. And this ladies and gentlemen is what I mean by
1977. “where a person is strategically or physically within a situation”. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
1978. <div class="MsoNormal">
1979. <br /></div>
1980. <div class="MsoNormal">
1981. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">I know that you
1982. have heard this next statement before, he or she is acting that way only
1983. because of (blank) and or lack (blank). My analogy asks only that we put
1984. ourselves in others shoes before acting out and it proves that we can do it; we
1985. all have driven or have been a pedestrian at one time or another.   </span><o:p></o:p></div>
1986. <div class="MsoNormal">
1987. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 12.0pt;">So be a hero
1988. when you can, help victims when possible, if you decide to be a bully, think of
1989. where you could be in the future and as for the bystanders, if you are silent
1990. you condone it.  </span><o:p></o:p></div>

2032. <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You're sure to succeed if you pursue a technical art field.   I am also a huge advocate of school art teachers or art specialists as they are often called.  Being a former art teacher myself, I know first-hand what it's like teaching elementary school art lesson plans to children.  I can't describe the amazing feeling you get when you see a child's face light up as they express themselves through their artwork. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A great way to get students excited about creating unique artwork is through </span><a href="http://square1art.com/fundraisers.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>Square 1 Art</b></i></span></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">.  This easy to run school fundraiser </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">gives them a reason to be creative and support the arts at their school.</span></div>

2040. <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That's a great question! Creativity isn't something that is learned.  Everyone has the ability to be creative.  Creativity and personal expression must be fostered in children for it to flourish in adult-hood. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some adults think to themselves, "I cant even draw a stick figure" therefore I am not creative. </span></div>
