Creative director of the school, Alex Soulsby explains how using arts and culture as a focus works so well in an IB continuum school for all ages and IB Programmes. He shares how visiting arts and culture practitioners bring their perspectives directly into the curriculum and themselves take advantage of the school's resources available in return. There is resource exchange between the school and their visitors that works to strengthen both parties.

This week on the podcast, we're joined by Kristin Reese, the executive director of the Mono Arts Council. Kristin shares her journey and dedication to promoting creativity in the Eastern Sierra region of California. In our conversation, she outlines the Mono Arts Council's evolution, emphasizing its shift toward arts education. Kristin believes that every child in Mono County should have access to the arts, and she discusses the numerous initiatives aimed at making that happen. Having grown up in the Eastern Sierra, Kristin developed a passion for the performing arts early on, influenced by her family of artists, musicians, and dancers. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in music from Sonoma State University, she felt the pull to return to her roots. Once back, she co-founded the Sierra Classic Theatre in 1999 and later worked at the Edisto Gallery & Tea Room, where she connected with local artists. Now at the helm of the Mono Arts Council, Kristin is committed to ensuring arts education is a priority for all K-12 students in the region. She highlights the positive impact of arts education on students, noting how it can improve test scores and attendance while also supporting mental health and social-emotional learning. The Council also runs several adult programs, like Art & Wine and the MAC Gallery & Community Arts Center, creating platforms for local artists to showcase their work. With her background in music and a deep love for the arts, Kristin aims to strengthen connections within the local arts community and inspire the next generation of creators.Links mentioned in this episode: ArterialArtsvilleUSAFirst Friday ExhibitionsMono Arts CouncilMono Arts Council on FacebookMono Arts Council on InstagramNOT REAL ARTNOT REAL ART PodcastRemote Video SeriesScott “Sourdough” PowerFor more information, please visit https://notrealart.com/mono-arts-council-kristin-reese/

(PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE) - Music lessons. A trip to the theater. Experiences like these can help students recover from cataclysmic natural disasters like the LA fires, according to experts in music and the brain.Research shows that learning to play an instrument improves listening skills and language development.Neuroscientist and Associate Professor Assal Habibi, PhD, is director of the Center for Music, Brain, and Society at the University of Southern California, Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.She said music students see improved decision-making, planning, and focus."We're not just giving them a toolbox of musicianship," said Habibi, "but we are giving them a toolbox to have better emotion regulation and better impulse control, and perhaps better respond to stressors around them when natural disaster happens in their environment."The center works with children in the Youth Orchestra Los Angeles, and researchers noticed improved resilience during and after the COVID lockdowns.They're also working with several children affected by the Altadena fire - kids who are part of the Los Angeles Children's Choir, which is based in nearby Pasadena.Habibi said participation in musical and art experiences is especially helpful in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event, because it facilitates access to emotion."Some of these students may not be able to really express what is going on for them, and the fear and anger around all that happened so fast," said Habibi. "But by going to seeing a musical performance, it gives them a connection and access to their emotion and a way to express themselves."As schools rebuild after the fires, Habibi said she hopes art and music education will be available to help students recover and flourish.#ArtsEducation, #MusicTherapy, #LAFires, #DisasterRecovery, #MusicHeals, #ArtsForHealing, #BrainAndMusic, #MusicEducation, #ArtsInSchools, #YouthOrchestra, #LosAngelesArts, #EducationMatters, #MusicAndMentalHealth, #HealingThroughArt, #ChildDevelopment, #TraumaRecovery, #EmotionalWellness, #NeuroscienceOfMusic, #MusicForKids, #TheaterEducation, #ArtsInEducation, #CreativeTherapy, #MusicAndResilience, #YouthEmpowerment, #MusicAndBrainDevelopment, #SupportingStudents, #CommunityHealing, #USCResearch, #MusicAndMind, #ExpressiveArts

Joining us will be experts from the IOE to unpack the key issues at play. Professor Zhu Hua will talk about the key pressing issues facing language learning and intercultural communication. Professor John Potter and Annie Davey will share artistic research collaborations with external partners and what that means in terms of developing arts education. Professor Evangelos Himonides joins us to talk about how research projects around music can impact our health and wellbeing, and the importance of music education.

Mike Palmer picks the brain of Erica Halverson, a theater artist turned education professor at the top-ranked University of Wisconsin-Madison. She's also the host of the Arts Educators Save the World Podcast. Halverson passionately makes the case that the arts should transform how we approach teaching and learning across all disciplines. Drawing from her background running an arts education non-profit and her current artist residency program called Whoopensocker, Erica stresses the need to uplift and center arts practices in education. She argues this will better prepare students for an uncertain future where skills like innovation, creativity, and comfort with failure will be paramount. Halverson advocates moving away from the model of arts as a separate "specials" class and toward fully integrating an artistic, maker mindset throughout the curriculum. The process of creating and revising creative works can be applied to enhance learning in subjects like math, science and beyond. Key Takeaways: The experiences of art-making should be centered as core to what it means to be human and to care about education. Arts are not just "nice-to-have" but fundamental to teaching and learning. The arts allow a learner asset-focused approach rather than just skills-focused. Making and creating artifacts surfaces expertise and misunderstandings - the essence of learning. Practices like improvisation, collaboration, and embracing failure are vital for good teaching and preparing students for an unsettled future of work. Don't miss this insightful discussion on integrating the arts into education at all levels and advocating for transformative, arts-based learning experiences.
