expose folk & blues music history to american public school students
#i believe that the exposure of art. of course given the tools to properly digest and provoke questions from it. can be and should be life#changing !! i think we need to utilize art within history classes more. its hard to contextualize history when youre memorizing vocabulary#terms and not exposed to the humanity of our ancestors. actually i got really into this idea a few months ago researching the africanus#austrolopithicus. the dissonance we feel between ourselves and our oldest ancestors that resemble animal more than human. i think we#feel this with history not long behind us as well. you miss the humanity when you cant relate on a basic level to our history. thats why i#think blues and folk music is so important. to hear people complain about the wealthy 100.. 200.. 400 years ago. how can you not be effecte#by that. its timeless !! and thats why its magical. anyway i feel really passionate about this so i apologize for soapboxing#also i want to add. its important to assess the historical art that you're aware of. to be aware of who is preserving this. its so importan#thats also why you should never feel guilty for taking up space with your art. think of all the artwork out there that hasnt been preserved#all the music youll never hear all the paintings and drawings youll never see. making art is part of being human#anyway off topic Im seepy
