{"pk":48011,"title":"ArtsBridge America:  Bringing the Arts Back to School","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This article examines the origin of ArtsBridge America, a K-12 school/university arts education partnership.  It also summarizes findings from a research study on the effect that ArtsBridge participation had on a sample of university arts students.  The study indicated that the transition from student to teaching artist required transformation of abstract procedural knowledge into a more flexible and fully assimilated performance capacity that could be adapted to a wide variety of situations.  In addition, ArtsBridge helped university students move from a focus on the individual (self) and domain (arts) to a larger social/cultural sphere (field).  Findings indicated that important interdisciplinary connections could be made, mentor relationships developed, and a nurturing environment for the development of creativity built through ArtsBridge program activities.","language":"en","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"ArtsBridge America"},{"word":"interdisciplinary"},{"word":"mentor"},{"word":"multidimensional"},{"word":"systems perspective"},{"word":"cultural organism"},{"word":"Developmental Science"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8nz0603h","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Liane","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Brouillette","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Irvine","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Maureen","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Burns","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Irvine","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2006-01-03T08:00:00Z","date_accepted":"2006-01-03T08:00:00Z","date_published":"2005-12-01T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cla_jlta/article/48011/galley/36149/download/"}]}
