We’re on the cusp the biggest academic mural festival ever attempted...anywhere. Tonight the gala art exhibit at Dr Maya Angelou HS. Art from 140 student artists as well art from the muralists.The school is abuzz. Can’t wait. ⁦LD Central-ARCHIVE⁩ ⁦LA Unified Arts Education⁩

Los Angeles Elementary’s scholarship-winning flutist Daniel Guzman calms a gathering of LAUSD music teachers with Bach’s Arioso. Its soul-nurturing tones are an antidote to our loud, frenetic lifestyles. Slow down, listen and be enchanted. LD Central-ARCHIVE⁩ ⁦LA Unified Arts Education⁩

Lenin Ramirez sings a few notes with Abigail, from Mariachi Olimpico at Belvedere MS. Thank you Lenin for sharing your time and offering your support to our future songbirds.

The big story here is that the arts—drawing, music, dance—are rich, elaborative forms of sense-making. Not merely 'entertainment,' but keys to unlock the learnable world. A piece I edited for edutopia. #ArtMakesSense
