The Artdog Quote of the Week
I've heard it said that mathematics is a universal language--but only if you've been taught how to decode it. With the arts--especially music, dance, and visual art--no translation is required for the human heart and mind to respond.
We've explored the value of the arts in education during this back-to-school season in my home country, the USA.
But I would submit that no matter when your school term starts, where you live, or how, where, or from whom you learn, if your education is untouched by the arts, it embodies only a pale shadow of the fascination, depth and lifelong relevance it could hold.
