Starting Artists created the Why Art Matters video during last year's Afterschool Program. First, students brainstormed words that described what art means to them. The prompt was, "Art is..." and the students answered it with words such as "loud," "inspiration," and "global." Then, they paired those words with some of their opposites and compliments. Students chose snapshots that were taken around New York City, matching them with appropriate words and then adding the type in Photoshop. Quon, an SA intern, mixed the soundtrack in GarageBand and then they put all of the images together in iMovie.
