In order for students to be successful, productive citizens they will need to learn to get along with people from all walks of life. I also believe that compassion and empathy are necessary tools of the future.
Many people have different abilities and disabilities. Since painting a picture typically requires the use of your arm/hands, I want my students to understand what it would be like to lose that luxury.
For sanitary reasons, painting by using their feet or mouth would require each student their own set of brushes and a canvas heavy enough that won't move while they work.
