So, while I watched the Grey Cup Halftime show I was thinking about how the arts are integrated into sports. Hedley had the CFL cheerleaders as their back up dancers (and front up dancers on the field) and I was impressed with the musical performance and the dancing. I was also impressed with the costumes for the dancers. They were wearing parkas and toques and looked warm, which is not how I typically think of cheerleaders.
I think it's important to integrate art into everything we do and to point out the fine art connections to things that don't always seem to have fine arts connections.
Even the way the fans dress show creativity and dramatic elements.
I think it is awesome that Arts are integrated into sports. It adds to the entertainment! A little bit of Art mixed in makes events that more exciting and special... even for the crazy fan that paints their face proudly with the team colours.
ReplyDeleteThis class and blog have really opened my eyes to the fact that art is EVERYWHERE! I love half time shows they make watching sports so fun and they get me all excited when I am watching!
