Arts Education


Feature Writer: Rachel Wills
Rachel Shirley, Keith Busby

Arts Education teachers work together so that students of dance, drama, fine art, music and all of the expressive languages can see the bigger creative picture.

Here you will find articles about dance, drama, singing, music and the Fine Arts. They will introduce you to ideas about teaching and learning through the Arts in ways that develop resiliency and self esteem. Blogs will look at the lighter side of the arts and expand on article ideas and topics. Appreciation of and involvement in the arts broadens education and contributes to a healthy curriculum.
