the importance of art: |
In
today's changing global marketplace everyone needs
the ability to learn, adapt, innovate and create regardless
of your type of work. I believe everyone is born an
artist and it basically gets "schooled" out
us . Telling stories and creating is what defines us
as humans. It is time we approach learning and teaching
as a whole brain activity. Learning is not only about
reading, writing and arithmetic. It is time to get
back to play, experimentation and right brain synthesis.
It is time to value the artist in our society and within
ourselves.
