Dr Nathan what are a remarkable and inspirational presentation. I hope one day you get to meet with and see what your students have achieved and the difference you made in their lives. You actually saved them and gave them a purpose in life. I am so moved. Thank you for sharing this.
Great presentation! I hope to open my own school soon for similar reasons. Schools have become prisons; children are creative spirits capable of so much, and I believe the arts (and absence of them) shape society.
taped at the school both my daughters attend in 2020 - The Calhoun School NYC, great elementary, middle and high school for art, sports and rigorous academics. I am an artist and am behind Dr. Nathan's thinking even today
I completely agree with you! I have recently learned that her in Anchorage, Alaska, art classes are only taught twice a month in the public schools. This is such a tragedy!
Here in the UK the educational system has also marginalised the arts. Take any pre-school child and they can all draw and be creative, but it seems that formal education emphasises development of the left-brain at the expense of the right-brain and much creativity is lost. This is a huge tragedy, and a major scandal, that educational emphasis is on academic excellence in order to prepare people for the workplace, at the expense of developing the whole person. We could do with more of Dr. Nathan's thinking, across the board.
Shoshi Platypus How do you know the “educational” system has marginalized the arts? Where did you get this from? Do the kids not have art, music, or drama in the classroom at all? The arts can be incorporated into math/language/science/history/geography lessons and has been for a while. That is where education is right now in the West. It has become an interdisciplinary and cross-curricular frame of mind so I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about. The arts are valued so much more in the world than science and math. And are you also saying that in order to fully develop a person’s character they must be immersed in the arts?
hello . unless your learning , paint by numbers , art doesn`t need to count , on a A B C brain frame . the world is full of self taught people who are far clever than the so called intellectual schools of thought . with regards .
This has been my favorite Ted Talk so far. Art is expression, passion, hope and reality all in one. Art is a necessity~
