      One of the BIGGEST CHALLENGES I see with 8th graders and your understanding of what art is and what it can be is that you don not have a wide view of the world of the arts. The IMAGE, the PICTURE has to be something and it has to be correct (in many of the 8th graders eyes) and sometimes it can be and should be about the mark making… the act of making art. Sol Le Witt nailed this!
