Inspired Learning: Commentaries on Arts Education

Arts Education theme

This is a pretty interesting website that has visual and performing arts at the heart of the information. It is from Education Week, this week but it was published online in December of 2014. Information worth repeating. It is called Inspired Learning: Commentaries on Arts Education and located at the following link.

There is so much food for thought, you will not want to miss it. For example, the following is part of an interview with Jeff Dekal.

Q. Can you describe what’s happening in your illustration?

Jeff Dekal: This illustration is an interpretation of my earliest memories of drawing as a child. Instead of doing what most of the other kids were doing after school or on the weekends, my friends and I would pick themes and draw them. That’s how we got our kicks.
