Seattle Arts Education Consortium:
Powerful Learning Through the Arts
As the advocacy project of award-winning, documentary filmmakers Brian Quist and Karen Hirsch and six arts education organizations in King County, Washington, "Powerful Learning through the Arts" speaks to the tremendous impact of arts learning - an aesthetic, dynamic body of work that invites us to take risks, think critically, trust uncertainty, imagine possibilities and persist.
Watch how engaged, inspired learning happens in the classrooms of these organizations as students and teaching artists practice and model creative habits of mind. Featuring classroom footage and interviews from some of the nation's arts education experts, this film sheds light on an undervalued field that has had enormous impact on the youth it has touched. The film offers us a potent tool to shift the perception of what quality education is all about.
Come witness what arts education can do, and ask yourself as you're watching: Could this type of learning happen in every classroom?
