Ever heard of Ludwig Beethoven? Probably so. But how about Joseph Haydn? He was Beethoven's mentor. Ever heard of Michelangelo? Yes? Well, how about Domenico Ghirlandaio? You guessed it, he was Michelangelo's earliest mentor when his most famous student was just 13. The world of art is filled with mentors, going back to Socrates, who mentored Plato in ancient Greece. In this episode, we will explore the role of mentorship in the arts world with Dr. Jayme Host, the dean of the School of the Arts at the College of Charleston. She and some of her colleagues and students will describe how mentors have shaped them as performers, painters, musicians, and dancers. Oh, and one final question: Who was Lady Gaga's most famous mentor? None other than the legendary crooner, Tony Bennett.
