what is YAM?
The Council for Art Education, Inc.
Sponsor
of Youth Art Mont
Youth Art Month (YAM) is an annual observance each March to
emphasize the value of art and art education for all children and to encourage
public support for quality school art programs.
Established in 1961, YAM provides a forum for acknowledging skills that
are not possible in other subjects. The Council for Art Education (CFAE), a
sponsor of Youth Art Month, adopted the national theme, “Start With Art, Learn
for Life.” Art Education develops
self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation
with others, and critical thinking skills.
All of these skills are vital to the success of our future leaders – our
children.
Youth
Art Month’s Purposes Are:
1 To
direct attention to the value of art education which develops divergent and
critical thinking; multicultural
awareness; and technical, communication, and expressive skills.
2
To
increase community, business and governmental support for art education.
3
To
recognize that art is a necessity for the full development of better quality of
life for all people.
4 To
expand art programs in schools and stimulate new ones.
5 To
increase community understanding and interest in art and art education through
involvement in art exhibits, workshops, and other creative venues.
6 To
provide additional opportunities for individuals of all ages to participate in
creative art learning.
7 To
encourage commitment to the arts by students, community organizations, and individuals everywhere.
8
To
recognize art education as a viable component in the total education curricula
that develops citizens of a global society.

December and OWLS!
 |
| First Grade 1 painted papers with tempera paints and made lots of TEXTURES! |
 |
| The next week the students could use any color paper and create an owl collage |
 |
| Here are the trays I use to glue our owl collages... we use Elmer's Glue mixed with water..I am tired of the glue sticks not sticking, this way of gluing these heavy papers works very well, I highly recommend it! |
