"In my opinion creativity is as important as literacy."
-Sir Ken Robinson
Welcome back Designers!
I hope you had a very relaxing break...as it was 5 weeks long! Whether you were banging on your house door wanting to come to campus, or being dragged back by your parents, the second semester has commenced!
Remember this advice, that I hold close, from Professor Pumphrey: Get ahead on your school work in the first 2 weeks! <This will set you up for success and help to establish your second semester routine!
To start off the semester, I would love to share with you this video by Sir Ken Robinson. Sir Ken Robinson is an English Author, and advocate for integrating more art in schools. I'm usually not one to devote 20 minutes to youtubing (although it can be very easy with all of the funny videos!), but this is definitely a worth-while video to watch as an artist/art appreciator.
This video will enlighten a new perspective to you about why the American Public School system developed, what it values, and why more art should be included! This is valuable information to hold on for when you are asked, "What are you going to do with a major in Art?", or , "Why is art even important?". Well, now, you have a factual, highly-supported answer to give them!
Without further ado, Ken Robinson: Do Schools Kill Creativity?
