Artsology Mission Statement |
When I was a teenager I was in the school band, and we played all of the standard fare.
However, our teacher offered an extra-curricular jazz band, and I joined. I was soon
learning about swing, fusion and be-bop, and for a kid used to listening to Top 40 pop music
and classic rock, this was an eye- (and ear-) opening experience. This teacher made an extra
effort, far beyond his formal teacher responsibilities, to expose us to music we may not have
otherwise heard. I truly believe this had a major impact on my life, opening my mind to different
thoughts and ideas.
Artsology aims to expose kids to cultural figures and ideas
in the hope of having a similar positive effect. We cannot expect to be a thorough and comprehensive
source of all things artistic, but hope to provide a gateway or springboard to further investigation
and enjoyment of the arts.
