Abstract
Art instructors are used to the question, sometimes
benign, sometimes inquisitive, sometimes disparaging, sometimes hostile, from myriad sources including parents, teachers, administrators, and certainly
students, “What is the point of learning art?” This
question of course rides on the shoulder of many
other unstated underlying questions such as “Is not
art a luxury or a middle class pursuit?” “Can we not
leave art to those genuinely interested or talented
in art?” “How is art practically useful?” “Is not art
redundant in the age of digitalized production and
reproduction?” And so on.
