PrefaceCourse of study or human behavior?
Art is a form of expression and communication since prehistory. It needs no justification to exist. However, many people see it as an unnecessary part of the school curriculum. "After all," they argue, "we don't need a course of study on breathing, eating, crying, or laughing. These are things people just do. So with art people are either just good at it or not. It is a behavior." If you have ever taken a good art history class (not one that is just all about names,dates, styles, and techniques). One that immerses your mind in another culture, time, and place. One that allows you to briefly see through someone else's eyes; you know what a life changing experience has been communicated to you as a fellow human being. Studying art enriches your life. |
