About this listen

What was your experience of art in school? Was it all doilies, cheap paint, and crusty brushes? Or was it better than that, but you still wondered why it seemed to be the runt of the educational litter?

In this humorous, engaging, and thought-provoking audiobook, Anna Cutler, a leading figure in art education, takes you on a journey through her personal experiences and reflections on the value of art in schools. By the end, you’ll come to realize that the stakes are surprisingly high for the social, emotional, and intellectual development of our children. It is an impassioned plea to nourish, within and beyond schools, the one resource that will never run out: the human capacity to create.
