We're reading 8 of these books in the Performance Art class I'm taking this semester and they are fantastic! They are books of short essays (emphasis on short - yeah!), and there's several of them that would pertain to what you're doing.ellenmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131985943483275048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116555016519677073.post-31849060418636045702010-06-21T06:14:55.649-07:002010-06-21T06:14:55.649-07:00love it!love it!ellenmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131985943483275048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116555016519677073.post-23431628596128062152010-01-28T06:30:26.258-08:002010-01-28T06:30:26.258-08:00BRILLIANT!

I liked it even more when my son got older and it was clear he was going to be an artist too. I well remember high school, where, despite the teachers' best efforts, their training to teach the general student could not keep the artistically-talented students engaged. I saw the same thing happening as my son entered 10th grade. Gifted kids of that age are ready for college prep, and it doesn't exist for artists in the regular schools, public or private. Perpich was a lifesaver. Not only was it a carrot to hold out to my son to keep his grades up so he could get in, it kept him completely engaged through the rest of high school (where he took AP calculus as well as his arts courses), and the teachers were very tuned in to the post-secondary opportunities. He took himself to the art college fair at MCAD, got himself a scholarship, and the rest is history. He's now a graduate of a fine design school in San Francisco. Perpich is invaluable for providing a valid academic pathway for the gifted Minnesota arts student. We did not have to use the dorm option, but I am so glad it's there and that every gifted arts student in Minnesota has equal opportunity to further their career.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116555016519677073.post-10262514295958067602009-02-11T20:03:00.000-08:002009-02-11T20:03:00.000-08:00Thank you for your comments!
