Arts Education, Community, and Creativity

Gwendolyn and Rudy welcome founder/president of Leaders of Tomorrow Youth Center, Dr. Dermell Brunson. In this episode we focus on the importance of the arts in education, how it contributes to creative skills, connection with community, and self-esteem. Dr. Brunson debunks the myth that the arts are tangential to a good education. Quite the opposite! Students learn the value of discipline through the process of artistic expression and this paves the way for improved mental health and career opportunities. We address several common questions like: How does arts education benefit children? Is arts education linked to academic success? What skills do students learn from arts? How do the arts support social and emotional learning? Learn more about Dermell's work: Get your copy of Philosophy Unplugged: Classroom Guide to Good Is In The Details.
