From PR slip-ups and film mega-flops, to radical artwork movements and the very best joke of the Edinburgh competition, John Hall runs by the preferred arts articles of 2011.

As you’d count on from such a large-vary of protection, the 12 most learn articles in 2011 are a very various bunch, featuring 4 articles on movie, one on tv, two on stand-up comedy, two from the world of visual arts, two on books and one on movie star on the whole.

The danger of change within the classroom, and the time spent to make it occur successfully, might be well worth it. One school that has adopted the Turnaround Arts program, Orchard Gardens Ok-eight Pilot School in Roxbury, Massachusetts, had such serious -discipline issues that safety guards roamed the hallways with walkie-talkies to maintain order.
