Our fearless co-hosts, Andrew and Tim, are joined by a very special guest, author Lisa Phillips. Lisa is the author of The Artistic Edge: 7 Skills Children Need to Succeed in an Increasingly Right Brain World. Some ideas from her book lead to a great talk about artistic skills, leadership skills, arts integration, and how to show everyone exactly what great things we are doing when teaching art.

Here are a few of the articles discussed and a few other gems from the Art of Ed:
- Spend some time on Lisa’s website, The Artistic Edge, or take a look at her book.
- Check out some brain exercises to help teach creativity, and an article on how the arts can inspire confidence in your students.
- We had a great discussion on the chatroll about spreading the word about our art programs! Here is a helpful article, and here are some powerful images that could be useful.
- And, of course, Jessica wrote a great review of Lisa’s book.
- In addition to what Lisa said about what art can do for our kids, it’s always a good idea to revisit Elliot Eisner’s 10 Lessons the Arts Teach.
- And if you want to do more for yourself and for your students regarding creativity, think about AOE’s Creativity in Crisis class.
- You can also see some reactions to the discussion on Twitter by searching #aoelive.
