ARTICLES ABOUT THE ARTS

Here you will find articles authored by Steven David Horwich.  These articles were written specifically to answer questions from parents and educators regarding our various arts programs. 

Steven is the author of the Connect The Thoughts curricula, has been an educator for over 35 years, and has taught on the University level, as well as privately, at private and public schools.  These articles, authored during the years that Connect The Thoughts was developed, answer many key questions that parents and educators had about the curricula.  They also provide the reader a more thorough sense of the approach this curricula takes.

Steven's own background outside of education is entirely in the arts.  You can find out more by reading his bio, available on this site on the "about us" page.  You'll find a link on this page at the bottom.

Please note that until August 2010, our Curricula for ages 5-8 was called 1st Step.  This curricula is still sold as 1st Step in some places, but on our site it has been completely integrated in with Connect The Thoughts, as it was always intended to be.  You may see references to 1st Step in various of the articles.


These articles are only one way to discover the curricula, its methods and design.  Throughout this site you will find many videos.  Each video explains a certian level of the curricula, or a certain subject and how it is taught.  There are descriptions of each course we offer, as well as samples of every course.  We hope that you'll find our site of real use.
