I am the teacher of an after school art club at a middle school. It’s a public school, so 90% of art supplies comes from my own home and the money comes from my pocket.

I also don’t get paid for doing it.

I adore my students, and I would love it if they could get a good art education. Art club is the only one they get in school– there is no money for actual art classes, which is really sad.

Is there a way I can get places like Jo-ann’s or Michaels to donate old art supplies?

What else can I do?

I am in Los Angeles.

Our political world is surrounded by art and images we put together with different meanings, (eg: a good leader). Leaders have used artwork to persuade us in many ways for many many years.

How does art created for a dictator differ from art created for a freely elected leader? In what was is it the same?

I’m planning on going to the Academy of Art University in SF, but I’m stuck between whether I should take Computer Arts: New Media or Graphic Design. Could someone please tell me the difference? Also, if I do take Computer Arts:New Media, what type of career opportunities are there? I know obviously if I take Graphic Design, I become a Graphic Designer, am I right? Please help!
