Introduction
"The arts are one of mankind's most visual and essential forms of
language, and if we do not educate our children in the symbol system
called the arts, we will lose not only our culture and civility but our humanity as well."

Ernest Boyer,President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching
 

The arts are also a unique source of enjoyment and
delight, providing the "Aha!" of discovery when we see ourselves in a new
way, grasp a deeper insight, or find our imaginations refreshed. The arts
have been a preoccupation of every generation precisely because they bring us face to face with ourselves, and with what we sense lies beyond
ourselves.
