Artistry in action: OH showcases student talent during National Arts in Education Week
This past week, students made their way down to the auditorium each day during guided studies and freshman seminars to celebrate National Arts in Education Week (NAEW). NAEW highlights OH’s creative programs, showing off Jazz Ensemble, the Improv team, Show Choir, Spoken Word poetry and Creative Writing, and the various dance groups. But it’s more than just a display of the arts. Fine Arts Department Chair Michael Skura said, “[[Art is]] relying on another side of the multiple intelligences that happen within individuals. … A lot of students need to activate that [[creative]] side of them, because when you're in that creative function, you kind of enter in the world of flow – when you actually lose track of time and space.”
