Could the Arts Actually Be Making a Comeback in Our Schools?

Posted on July 15, 2013

Arts education advocates are dusting off their dancing shoes in Los Angeles Unified.

The school district will begin restoring art, music, dance, and theater curriculum in classrooms after years of devastating cuts with a $750,000 grant from the Los Angeles Fund for Public Education. Over three years, teachers will partner with local arts organizations to create ways to integrate arts into core subjects.

Imagine a chemistry class where students use dance to understand the inner workings of an atom; learning to keep time with a piece of music as an introduction to fractions; or a Spanish class reciting monologues from a Federico Garcia Lorca play.

“This powerful method of instruction helps students engage in their studies, retain more and become the creative problem-solvers needed in our global economy,” Megan Chernin, chief executive of the Los Angeles Fund for Public Education, said in a statement.

Everyone Loves MTM!

I tell my students each week they are getting more art history this year than many students get in university. I love hearing them learn and use words like post Impressionism, realism and complimentary color palette in conversation.

So far, the Georges Seurat pointillism project using sand paper has been the most popular!
