Some Thoughts on Teaching Art

Pages 269-270 | Published online: 16 Oct 2014
 

Abstract

Art, it seems to me, is more an area of human experience than a body of knowledge; and education in art is more a development of the capacity to experience than it is the acquisition of factual knowledge. Further, “the capacity to experience” subsumes the capacity to articulate and communicate in visual form. This capacity is a complex matter, requiring the development of many facets of mind, emotion, spirit, and physical senses.
