I get e-mail newsletters from Art 21 about different things they're working on. The Art 21 blog is kicking off a series about how we interact with art here in the 21st century. It's definitely worth taking a look at.
One article in particular caught my eye today. How do we experience art? It's a good question to think about, especially in regards to how you want your kids to learn about art. How you teach them about the arts is just as important as what you teach them. Is "art" something we do, a verb, active and alive, challenging us to think and try new things, or is it something we merely look at, passively taking it in and then moving on, a subject that has no relation to the rest of our lives?
