For me, the highlight of this course was the artist interviews... individuals reflecting on their lives and art, provoking creativity, empathy, and compassion. I appreciated hearing from artists I had long admired and artists I was newly introduced to... thank you!

  • identify how the arts cultivate wonder and curiosity,
