There is a gap in knowledge about artistic careers--few people
fully understand the economics and sociology of the visual and
performing arts. The public impression of the lives of artists are
distorted because typically only the very successful get attention.
Society generalizes based on those people who are statistical
exceptions, not by looking at average careers, let alone those who
discontinue their pursuit of arts professions. For emerging young
artists, it is essential to know the histories of the different
performing and visual arts, and their training and craft
traditions. Additionally, understanding the role of informal
learning, differences in types of institutions, approaches to
teaching-learning, and the subsequent likely career impact is
important. While some have hailed the advances in the arts as a
result of new technology, changes in the finances of performers are
greatly impacted by the digital world. Many have commented on the
greying audiences for classical music and opera, but the
characteristics of the younger generations who appear to want to
view, listen, and interact with visual and performance art
differently may be even more impactful.

The new National Curriculum emphasises the importance of
composition but also 'transcription' i.e. spelling and 'fluent,
legible and, eventually, speedy handwriting.' Our exciting new
'Let's Do Handwriting' titles provide all the help that children
need to write fluently and legibly. Through guided practice in
letter structure and the correct formation of joins, the children
are encouraged to develop a clear, attractive style to use with
fluency and speed in their everyday writing. The extensive
handwritten practice of a wide range of words also helps to broaden
vocabulary and spelling skills. As with every title in the Andrew
Brodie Basics range, parents can ensure that their children's
efforts are well rewarded. Each book features regular progress
checks as well as a wide variety of attractive reward stickers. To
help the children along, Marjorie the Meercat gives lots of useful
tips!

Many educators already know that hip-hop can be a powerful tool for
engaging students. But can hip-hop save our schools-and our
society? Hip Hop Genius introduces an iteration of hip-hop
education that goes far beyond studying rap music as classroom
content. Through stories about the professional rapper who founded
the first hip-hop high school and the aspiring artists currently
enrolled there, sam seidel lays out a vision for how hip-hop's
genius-the resourceful creativity and swagger that took it from a
local phenomenon to a global force-can lead to a fundamental remix
of the way we think of teaching, school design, and leadership.
