Are Smart People Drawn To The Arts Or Does Arts Training Make People Smarte
2008-03-07 05:20:00 ScienceDaily (Mar. 6, 2008) — Learning, Arts, and the Brain, a study three years in the making, is the result of research by cognitive neuroscientists from seven leading universities across the United States. In the Dana Consortium study, researchers grappled with a fundamental question: Are smart people drawn to the arts or does arts training make people smarter?For the first time, coordinated, multi-university scientific research brings us closer to answering that question. Learning, Arts, and the Brain advances our understanding of the effects of music, dance, and drama education on other types of learning. Children motivated in the arts develop attention skills and strategies for memory retrieval that also apply to other subject areas.The research was led by Dr. Michael S. Gazzaniga of the University of California at Santa Barbara. “A life-affirming dimension is opening up in neuroscience,” said Dr. Gazzaniga, “to discover how the performance and appreciation of the art...

A Carbon Tax, the Arts and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
2007-12-13 23:26:00 There is a point where ideology can exceed common sense, and one might wonder if that is happening with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.One month ago Maureen Bader, BC director of the CTF, came out against arts funding stating that government subsidies to the arts should be abolished. Bader sees the arts as business activity, but it is more appropriate to compare investment in the arts with investment in things like parks and recreation. Perhaps Bader isn't aware of the difference between investments and subsidies.According to a 2001-02 Statistics Canada report, with an investment of $6.8 billion from three levels of government, the arts and culture sector directly employed 740,000 people and generated $26 billion for the economy. I'm sure Bader doesn't want to hurt our economy, so it might be that she just doesn't understand the concept of EROI (economic return on investment).Then Maureen Bader misrepresented carbon taxes while making fun of global warming 'theorists' .Pove...

Peter and the Wolf and the End of the Arts
2007-11-04 01:00:00 When I was a child I loved Peter and the Wolf. I am not unique in this. Perhaps Prokofiev?s most recognized tune, PATW is adored by children the world over, and is one of the most popular methods of introducing them to the wonders of the symphony. Each character in the tale is portrayed by a single instrument playing a memorable theme, all of which are introduced in the opening moments of the piece, leading newcomers through the sections of the orchestra one at a time. When I first experienced this, it was my own parents' theatre company performing in conjunction with the Young Peoples Philharmonic, with my father acting the role of the Wolf. Later, I would sneak into the costume storage in our garage, put on his musty costume and parade about unseen, gnashing my teeth and growling. Soon after, I discovered the Weird Al / Wendy Carlos version of PATW, with its synthesized orchestra and silly adaptation of the narrative (in Al?s version, the wolf catches the duck because he is weari...
Don?t cut back or eliminate the arts in favor of?anything!
2007-10-20 00:54:00 A warning appears concerning the constricted focus that plagues classrooms as a result of the pressures of NCLB in Steven Wade?s article, ?Educating Children in the New Millennium: Child?s Play? (EdWeek 10/10/07).Many students today are not benefiting from a balance of intellect and imagination. As an American Academy of Pediatrics report published last January notes, changes in the family structure, the highly competitive college-admissions process, and federal education policies have led to a reduced time for recess and physical education in many school systems, a fact that has reduced free play and unscheduled time for children.Even worse, some school systems have reduced or eliminated curricular art programs that look like play to some people. Increasingly, research in neuroscience suggests that the arts (and play) have a significant impact on students? cognitive, social, and emotional development? Not only do play, the arts, and physical education have inherent value ? new tech...
