The story is sounding good so far :) I like it!

This isn't so much relating to the plot as it is the general idea. I would like for us to also account for the people who may watch this that don't know about Disney create. Rather than making DC specific references, we can spread messages that apply to ALL forms of art. Rather than stopping star begging, we can ask for people to stop constantly searching for praise on what they do and to not be conceited. I'm saying this because I have a friend who thinks she's an amazing artist and laughs at other people who she thinks aren't as good as her, which is literally the exact opposite of what I do. We can say that being conceited will slow down your improvement process, and that you can always do better. Plus, we can also stress the point about being kind to other aspiring artists, which would be our way to stop bullying (as I believe was previously mentioned).

Also, if you need any ideas on what an art school is like, feel free to ask me! My dad used to work at an art college a little awhile ago before he decided to into primarily writing and illustration :)

Plus, if we're going through this whole "raising money" thing, the teachers should already know the information and be planning for the following year. Then, once one of the students asks about what they'll be doing next year in one of the classes, the teacher should say something like, "There's not going to be a next year" and then explain that the course was being cut due to money shortages along with others. The kids are surprised by this, and then they make a commitment to help raise the funds needed to keep those select classes open. I don't really want the whole school to be shutting down, because if it was they would already have been notified before they were coming to the school. Cutting courses is minor enough to make sense, but major enough to make a good story.
