Headline: More arts for ALL (pre-k to seniors)

Nutshell: All individuals will have free access to be creative with materials and instruments... but also free online interactive creativity.

Vision:

In our current pre-K and senior life-long learners systems, access to the arts and culture of the world is limited.

In the future, 2020 we will all be wired as such to be creative individuals with access to FREE Internet applications and tools. This access may be by phones, satellite or cable. The programs and applications will be very interactive, smooth and really accessible.

Seniors like myself be able to paint online and print on fine watercolor paper. Music will be studied by online interactive webcast with renowned companies and artists.

Artists will provide welcome interaction with children and seniors alike. Schools and educators will be surprised with the high quality of accessibility to artists’ work and writings. Composors from all over the world will share insightful reviews of each others’ work.

The limits discussed politically and legally will soon be resolved to embrace the learning for ALL peoples of the world.
