Episode 8: Hillel Smith: Art is Not an Extra
On today’s episode Art is Not an Extra, I speak with artist, graphic designer and educator Hillel Smith about why we should and how we can integrate the arts into all subjects. After our interview, test your wits as Hillel slays The Five-Minute Game Show. And here’s a bit of trivia, that probably won’t help win any bar trivia nights, but Hillel designed the Overthrowing Education logo. On our In the Trenches Segment, Arete Preparatory Middle School Director, Anne Butler, shares inspiring ideas and tips for integrating the arts. Our fauxmercial parody on this episode is more of a cautionary tale film trailer instead of “advertising” an awesome fantasy product - So listen and be warned of what a world without art integration would be like!
I’d like to give special thanks to my guests, Hillel Smith and Anne Butler. And special shout outs of thanks to the wonderful voices behind today’s fauxmercial – Elliot Schiff, Yossie Frankel and the always adorable Sophie Holender. And to the super clever and talented Eve Hirschman for not only writing the In a World fauxmercial but also today’s The 5-Minute Gameshow.
