4D - Literature

Over the past couple of weeks I have been reading various sources of literature which may help me which my inquiry, I have found this to be very useful in providing me with others opinions on subjects I am also looking to develop as well as helping me to narrow down my inquiry questions and give me more focus on what I would like to find out as my end result.

I have used various tools which are available to me to find information and articles of interest, such as Middlesex library - Summon tool, google search for articles on relating websites and articles in newspapers.

Here are some of the links to my findings:

By reading these articles it has helped me to further narrow down the question of my end project, What is the importance of the performing arts industry in our society, this topic may be too big however as i would like to explore through schools, economically and politically but I feel I now know where I am heading and the types of literature I need to be reading to further broaden my knowlege.
