Art generally isn't among the classes that students file in the boring category. But just in case it was, that for sure won't happen now. The Arts Council of Indianapolis has launched an online directory for Central Indiana schools that gives teachers access to more than 100 arts-centered classes and workshops. Think jazz drumming, bookbinding, African dance and pantomime techniques for nonverbal storytelling. IndyArtsEd.org houses the directory, which officially launched Dec. 13, that connects Central Indiana teachers with arts education opportunities from dozens of organizations, including the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Dance Kaleidoscope.
