I had mandatory art classes from kindergarten until the fifth grade. I went to public schools so my class usually had 25 kids in it. I had the same teacher all through elementary school. Mrs. Knox was my favorite teacher throughout school. Mrs. Knox taught my class about symmetry, colors, and clay. I loved going to art class once a week in elementary school, it was always something I looked forward to. I never feared going to art class and I never had any issues in art. I do not remember all the art projects I did but I do know we did one art project a week. My favorite project we ever did was the ‘self portrait’ made of clay. We spent one week designing the clay and the second week was spent painting the clay. I loved going to art class and it was a very enjoyable experience for me.
