Open Art & Culture

Ethan Kaplan at blackrimglasses poses this question . . .

Where do you all see the import of art and music education within the public school system?

After giving his question some thought (and some feeling) I have come to the following conclusion...

As you easily see I am not a great visual artist. I was however able to render both an image and a symbol that succinctly speaks of our culture.

The serpent of our society will succeed in consuming itself unless we fortify it (our society) with values that are greater than its sense of self.

Art, as crude as mine, draws its power from the ability of the image to resonate with the members of the audience. With out even the most rudimentary Arts appreciation such expression would fall on deaf eyes - and the serpent would in fact consume itself.
