The heart of art: The importance of painting and poetry

Chris Gardner

"The liberal arts help you to argue and think critically. They teach you how to write and ask questions. You may get your job through your major, but I can guarantee you’ll get your promotion through the liberal arts. The arts have always been more than just about artwork. Leonardo da Vinci understood this by blending his love of math and science with art; in fact, he considered them the same thing."

Our nation's educators and children deserve better

"As the teacher’s strike in Oklahoma extends into a second week, people across the country are making their own opinions about which side of the strike they support. In reality, there should not be sides being taken at all. Teachers, the hard-working people who are literally shaping the minds of the future, believe they should be making a fair wage and receiving enough funding to properly run their classrooms. I struggle to see any problem with that."
