They envision a country where everyone has access to—and takes part in—high-quality and lifelong learning experiences in the arts, both in school and in the community.]]> 2021-09-18 19:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750788607 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750788971 The Arts create hope within communities, schools, and individual people. They also bring joy, belonging, and even connection.]]> 2021-09-18 19:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750788971 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750793385 The website has a whole area where they include their research, sources, and even news, to their findings of arts in education and communities.]]> 2021-09-18 19:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750793385 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750796655 On the front page of the website there is an area where there are links to ways where people can be involved in advocating for the arts in schools and communities. It is for people to help support arts education.]]> 2021-09-18 19:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750796655 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750807002 The students will benefit from having any sort of arts education, and above you can see how they can benefit. This is all included on the website, and it also gives a more in depth view of arts in education within the pdf that I linked in the caption.]]> 2021-09-18 19:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750807002 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750813150 Under the "Advocate" tab, it shows this, where you can directly find ways to contact Legislators about arts education. I did not even know that this was a thing honestly, so it was cool that they included direct links to contact officials about concerns and ideas about arts in education!]]> 2021-09-18 19:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750813150 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750816323 If you are just getting started in advocating for the arts, this shows websites and even some videos where you can learn about where to start. This can be really helpful for someone who is just learning about how to advocate for the arts, and this helps them learn the best way to go about it. ]]> 2021-09-18 19:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750816323 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750820651 A con of this website I see is that there is just a lot of information. The biggest problem I see is that if you are jut getting started in educating yourself on the arts and getting involved, then it can be a lot. Specifically, when you look at these tabs above, the ones in red have a lot of information, and it can be overwhelming. Although there is an abundance of good information, it can be hard to sift through all of the information, and even where it may be coming from as well. I also wish it had more information about including arts in education. It talks a lot about advocating which is amazing, but it seems like there isn't enough information about directly including it in the classroom.]]> 2021-09-18 20:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750820651 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750827578 The website has a lot about advocating for the arts, but it also includes many tools that can be used to help students learn more about the arts. It has short books, "10 Simple Ways", Family Activities, and all of these include ways that a parent or even a teacher can include the arts into their classroom or home. Giving these tools and links can be helpful just because many people may not have access to the arts, and they need the links to become more educated about the arts, and how to include them in a child's life. Having all of these links and ideas can really help whoever is looking at the website, and it can help all of the puzzle pieces come together in their minds. Having access to all of this information can help anyone with their ideas of the arts, and the way it is integrated in their lives. ]]> 2021-09-18 20:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750827578 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750834298 A teacher should know about this website just because it has a lot of great information. It shows us how we can advocate for the arts. It also includes information about what you can do to include the arts within a classroom or home setting, that is not specifically an arts classroom. It also includes books that can help us integrate the arts into a classroom setting as well. There are many important things that are given throughout this website. They want all students and communities to have a free arts education. They give a lot of good information about how to advocate and become more involved within the arts community as well, and this can play apart of the arts in your classroom. ]]> 2021-09-18 20:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750834298 mckenziemurphey https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750838070 https://www.americansforthearts.org/]]> 2021-09-18 20:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mckenziemurphey/n4wu28vxez4s32mj/wish/1750838070
