Looking for H A P P I N E S S

     There are 7 billion people in the world. Each one is different to the other, but there is one common thing between all of them: they all look for happiness.

But, how people seek their own happiness?

                           Perhaps a writer is happy when he writes…

 ...Some people are happy getting out with their friends

Others, are really happy while they  are walking on the beach…

                Also, there are other people if they  win the lottery…

     ... And others, with the flowers smell

     Everyone in the world, needs a thing, a moment, a person or a reason that makes them                   h a p p y.

      In my opinion, one of the school goals is that children will be happy; and art can help to achieve this goal.

    Being happy means being a dreamer, creative, imaginative, adventurer, self-confident,… and the art can help to develop and improve all of these qualities. The art class should be a place where every child can express their own feelings, their impressions, their points of view…figuring their own thoughts through art works. Also, it should be a place where all students can imagine, create and innovate without fear of being wrong. An incorrect answer doesn’t exist in art.

        For that reason, when I will be a teacher (or art teacher, I don’t mind) I must strive in my profession for my students develop that skills. Because in the future, when they grow up, they will be able to use those skills they acquired in the art class to get their goal: h a p p i n e s s .

      To end this blog, I would like to thank each of my colleagues. From all of you I have learned something! Also thank you Philip. He has helped me to open my mind and realize the importance of the little things that make me happy every day.

Who knows, maybe we’ll  meet again in another part of the world ... until then: BE HAPPY MY FRIENDS!
