A Call to Arts: How Artistic Living Can Redeem Us
by Melanie Richards
If we ask some difficult questions about where we stand as a
society today and what legacy we are creating for future generations, we come
up short on our understanding and living of the arts and how we expose out
children to their influence. In this book, Melanie
Richards, sounding the alarm for the arts, brings up some hard truths about how
we live today, and how a true exposure to artistic living and its benefits
would better prepare our children for life.
Through an examination of the artistic process and how it can be applied
to everyday living, we are taken through fire, earth, air, and water to the
artistic realm, where we see the face of beauty and its reflection in the
mirror of our lives.
Today's life is full of technology, which needs a balance so that the brain and the soul can function fully. The arts can provide that balance, which is one reason that it is so important not to cut them from education, but rather, to enhance our arts programs to integrate their principles into the mainline teaching syllabus.
