Agents of change

Anthony Gormley tells @BBCr4today children need access to creative arts to feel that they can be “agents of change” and to feel “magic” & “liberty” in the arts. Yes! That’s why @UKMusicMasters fab one year course for educators in state primaries is called “Musicians of Change”!

Anthony Gormley stating how his art school experienced encouraged more than just technique, or the pencil running across paper. It was about philosophical and political change, exploring concepts rather than how to draw a still life of an apple.

It is an argument which I extol in Blank Canvas https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/B/bo186918426.html
