Flav Says: Don't believe the hype!

People have made this claim for decades, that a career in the arts is too risky and won't turn into a real job -- that you are squandering talents. Though well intended, there is ample evidence that they are wrong, or at least, they refer to vastly outdated information.

Your task: Use research and examples to make a case for a career in the arts. Use contemporary data gathered from reputable sources to prepare a presentation that would be targeted at parents to defend your position to seek a lucrative and rewarding career in the arts. (assessment targets .docx)

You may work in teams of one to three people. You will have 10 minutes to make your case. Your classmates will help determine if your case is convincing.

Each person must keep a record of what you do in your group to make your project a success. Each person will also be expected to submit a typed reflection on what you learned and experienced.

Your research needs to be cited (properly documented). This can be included as hyperlinks and a one slide list at the back of a keynote presentation or on paper.
