Welcome to Brittany Leahy's Art Blog

 

As a prospective art teacher, I wanted to begin my blog with a series of discussion questions based upon a modern controversial topic:

 

Do you feel like the arts are an important part of education in K-12 schools?

Do you feel that the arts are a critical aspect of a well-rounded education?

Why or why not?

 

As my colleagues, I want to know your honest opinions on this matter.  As you create your responses, think back to your childhood.  Examine the various roles and impacts that education in the arts has had on your life, and picture how your life might be if you had never had these experiences.
