These days, many students cope with pressures in school — they are worried about bullies, succeeding on state tests, and more. For some students, these feelings are mild anxieties that may occur throughout the year; for others, these feelings could indicate a more serious mental health issue.

Imagine what it would be like to teach painting, drawing, photography, graphic design or other forms of art to K-12 students attending an online public school.
