Arts Education...A+
What does art mean to you? Wynton Marsalis, the highly acclaimed jazz musician and composer highlighted in this program says, "The arts are created to give us an objective way to look at ourselves." This "In the Mix" special features diverse teens who describe how arts education has had a positive impact on their attitudes, emotions, behavior, academic and even athletic performance, as well as their relationships with peers and parents. It also highlights creative ways in which schools are making arts education available in the face of budget cuts. Segments include: Wynton Marsalis and teens who participate in the national Lincoln Center High School Jazz Competition; a Los Angeles mentoring program that teaches poetry, songwriting and more; a dance program available to high school students in Rochester, New York; and Urban Academy, which integrates many forms of the arts into their curriculum.
