What is a good "art cheer" for a K-6 art teacher's classroom?

My friend is a brand new K-6 art teacher. She's trying to come up with a good art cheer/chant/motivational thing as a part of getting her kids into the art-making mode. I figured querying the hive mind for a bit of creativity might help her out. Thanks, yo.

This is really funny - I'm talking to my Mom at the moment (we just got disconnected) about teaching my college art courses and she's a retired K-5 art teacher! I'll see if she has any ideas for cheers...

My s.o. has taught art to Pre-K through 6th & has had good luck getting the kids pumped with music. Eye of the Tiger and the Star Wars Theme all seem to get them motivated and focused.

Well, "art" rhymes with "fart," and that's always good for inspiring 6th graders.
