We grew up in a very creative environment and were exposed to the arts at a very young age, so it's not a surprise that all of us are in some form of the arts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The arts have always been in and around my life.
The older I get, I'm really reminded how important the arts are to our wellbeing as a society.
Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
There are different types of talents and intelligences, and traditional schools sometimes ignore the creative ones. It is important for us to give kids every platform for them to find what they are good at and what they love. The arts also provide a space for newfound creativity.
I think of art as the highest level of creativity. I was exposed to it since I was very small.
I think the problem with the arts in America is how unimportant it seems to be in our educational system.
You see the transformation that the arts have on young people. It changes their lives for the better. That's where my engagement is.
We are all born artists... Almost everything kids do is art.
I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.
I grew up in a very small, rural country town, and we didn't really have 'the arts.'
