As I watch in shock as President Trump and his followers take away funding form PBS/NPR, and the arts, I remember what Art does for us. It Liberates us. Why study Art?
Why art teachers?
After all children only need to read, write and to math to survive....
Art has this innate power to liberate us. This was a great show highlighting conceptual art, the art that defies simple descriptions. Art that breaks the rules, and occasionally breaks the law. Art that inspires, lifts, and redeems, transforms marginalized voices. Art defies labels, it last long after empires fall, it gives voice to oppress people everywhere. It sustains our souls.
Here is to all you Badass Art Teachers,
Dr. Jesse P. Turner
