I’ve noticed changes in our society as a whole…suddenly jobs are being outsourced, people are discovering they need more technological and critical thinking skills for their jobs, and there has definitely been a more centralized focus on the arts in traditional left-brained roles, whereas many people are now focused on coming up with the newest idea or being the most creative. It’s very exciting for me to finally see such a shift in an emphasis on the arts where there hasn’t always been one. It’s nice to finally be validated for much of the work I do as a drama director in the school I teach and many of the things I try to incorporate in my classroom. It seems like many of the contemporary ideas of today are coming full circle, where in past eras like the Renaissance, art was such an important part of being. Although I think we are definitely a long way coming to a righ-brained world, Pink is certainly on the brink of what our future could hold. Perhaps one day we’ll all be majoring in Art in college and taking time to meditate on a daily basis!
