My Notes:
-work place needs people that are flexible thinkers, the arts train the mind to be flexible
-arts are undervauled in our socitey because they are viewed as a "frill" something extra, this needs to change
-Arts cannot stake claim to raising scores in other classes, but why should they have to, no one expects history class to improve algebra scores
- Art teaches, visual spatial abilities, reflection, self- criticism, willingness to experiments and learn from mistakes
-" Arts display some of the most positive profound and lasting accomplishments of adolscents. They offer a profound opportunity for young people to contribute. But you don't take that opportunity if you don't know about it from a young age. Seidel
- Sen Edward Kennedy- " The current harsher, more aggressive world, may well be due to the fact that we're not giving people opportunities for a gentler world."
