I have an appreciation of art exhibits, paintings, sculpture, art history, and all things created by one’s hands. I see that missing from our education in today’s public schools which is sad.
The same is true of music appreciation for something other than rap and noise. So much lost that cannot be regained.
The manners, culture, and appreciation of all things grand no longer exists in most of the teens who live tech, social media, and whatever!
Happily my younger sister’s daughter is a gifted performer, early as a child she showed a remarkable singing voice and natural rhythm.(her uncle, me, is a drummer). She did acting in her local theater group, had a cameo on an episode of “The Sopranos’’ and was invited to audition for a reoccurring role that would have been created for her on “Gossip Girls’’ but declined. She was not impressed by the acting ability of the shows actors nor did she like the plot line. Currently she is going to graduate school to learn to work with and teach handicapped adults having left the theater and acting behind.
