In Ancient Athens,

education blended creativity, imagination, and design skills into the curriculum.

As they studied the sciences, Athenians developed thoughtful reasoning, hypothesis, exploration, and problem-solving.

 

By the 1850’s, Nashville had been dubbed the Athens of the South as a result of the city’s dedication to EDUCATION through ART. furthermore,

the ability to read has always been one of the most important and fundamental pillars in American history.

 

I hypothesize,

Hip Hop, Rap (rhythm and poetry) and popular music can be the catalyst for a healthy

life of reading and creative exploration.

 

The artistry of rap allows an unapologetic release of emotions,

which if left unchecked can become detrimental to mental health.

 

I know we’ve always heard the phrase as “read&write”

 

I want to highlight the importance of READING, WRITING, AND EXPRESSING through the arts.
