Music

One of my personal favorite topics is arts in education. Or, more specifically, arts AS education. My first encounter with someone utilizing the arts as a way to promote the "core subjects" was when I met a graduate student at NYU. She was writing her thesis on black holes and how their construction was inherently linked to waves which we hear as sound waves. Specifically, she was studying physics and music. Together.

Last night I watched the film Up, in 3-D. I had heard it was "worth seeing in 3-D" particularly because of the animation. I had also heard that this was not a typical Disney/Pixar film; in fact, it left many people in tears. So, a little hesitant, I went to see what all the fuss was about.
