Abstract
The importance of teaching students to make real art—art with meaning—can be introduced by the following story.
An art dealer (this story is authentic) bought a canvas signed “Picasso” and traveled all the way to Cannes to discover whether it was genuine. Picasso was working in his studio. He cast a single look at the canvasand said: “It's a fake.” A few months later the dealer bought another canvas signed Picasso. Again he traveled to Cannes and again Picasso, after a single glance, grunted: “It's a fake.” “But cher maitre,” expostulated the dealer, “it so happens that I saw you working on this very picture several years ago.” Picasso shrugged: “I often paint fakes.” (Koestler, 1964, p.82).
