Description:

The goal of the Art Awareness in Education Lecture Series was to debunk the idea that there is only one way to learn a subject, thus showing that it is not just the student's inability to learn or that a teacher is ineffectual in teaching. The Art Awareness in Education Lecture Series is intended to foment awareness and understanding of the different facets of art educaion by serving as a focal point in which speakers and audience, of a variety of backgrounds, exchange knowledge and experiences as to learning multiple subjects through the delivery of art education. It highlights the complex repercussions art has on many of our daily activities: education, health, work, leisure and even issues which we that are usually not consciously aware, such as genetics. Every other month a scholar, member of an advocacy group or representative from the private sector will be invited to come and discuss one aspect of Art Awareness from his/her perspective.

The Art Awareness in Education Lecture Series was founded and directed by Jason Bullock, CEO and Founder of GIRAFNetwork, currently working with Native Ink Studio on a self sustaining source fo revenue for fundraising to avoid dependence on federal grants. His program, titled Visual Basics: The Reality round US through Art, focuses on the development and implementation of education as seen and understood through an artist's eyes of the sociotechnical worlds that sustain them.
