Haven't you always wondered how teachers knew what to teach? They're called "standards", and they're the backbone of classroom instruction. They provide students, teachers, parents, and the public at large, a look into what students are learning in their school. And in the arts, we've got shiny new ones to show off in 2018!
In this episode, we sit down with Carrie Ann Power, Education Associate for Visual & Performing Arts at the SC Department of Education, and talk about new Visual & Performing Arts standards which will fully roll out in schools across the state next school year.
At the core of every piece of art, in every medium, is a story. We have always used art to tell our stories, and we're slightly addicted to them - telling them, hearing them, capturing them, and hearing them. In fact, we love stories so much, that we have an entire industry dedicated to telling them - Journalism.
In this episode we sit down with Elizabeth LaFleur, a journalist for The Greenville News, to talk about creativity, journalism, and the art of story-telling.
