Arts and Humanities Jury

Arts and Humanities Important in Education

 

In 2011, Steve Jobs introduced the iPad 2 by saying it was in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough. He said "technology married to both liberal arts and humanities yields the results that make our hearts sing."

 

Dr. Gay Lynn Smith, University of Phoenix at the San Diego Campus is among those who believe that skills developed through the arts include critical thinking, communication, problem solving, sequential learning, informed judgment, reading, etc. 

 

 At the 2012 International Convention, the members of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International supported the importance of the arts and humanities in the lives of its members. The membership voted to implement an Arts and Humanities Jury. The duty of the Jury is to rate and select members' artwork for online publication and/or display, including sound and motion in two-and three-dimensional art, performance art, literary efforts, photography and crafts.

 

Members have been appointed to serve on the Jury. They are Sandra Smith Bull, Texas, 2012-2014,  chair; Janye Brainard, Texas, 2012-2014,  June Bowers, Nebraska, 2012-2016,  and Catherine Bringselius Nilsson, Sweden, 2012-2016. Dr. Linda Eller will serve as the headquarters liaison for the Jury.
