"Hobble the arts and crafts and you hobble innovation. Hobble innovation and our economy will suffer. Conversely, invest in arts and crafts and every dollar will stimulate the economy not only today, but through innovation a host of tomorrows." -Root-Bernstein
A student came to me this morning to pick up artwork because she is moving to Kansas. She seems excited about the move, except that her new school has no art or music program. I sent her home with a sketchbook and encouraged her to keep drawing, no matter what's going on in her school!
It made me think of this article I read recently in Psychology Today. There are so many articles and books written by experts on the growing need for creative thinkers in our workforce. I like this article because it is short, sweet, and right to the point.
