    Episode 6: Art Education

    This episode breaks down my top six recommendations to shake up art educational practice. This episode will not be for everyone and there are some bigger generalizations about art and art education - namely I call out some typical art activities and make suggestions on how we might dismantle the status quo. Save the bulletin boards! No more Picasso! Music in this episode:  Shaolin Dub -  Incremental-Fascism Shaolin Dub - Overthrown  Ketsa - Heart Science  Kai Engel - Lesicia  CheeZ - The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein  Broke For Free - Leaf
