I'm wondering if there has been progress in art education in the public (or private...) schools since I was in one in the 1950s.
I went to an upscale public school, where the principal was a PhD before every principal had to be one to collect a paycheck.
We had maybe 6 art class periods per semester, mostly pottery.
I learned two things of lasting value from this experience:
(1) There was not way I was going to make anything of value in this class.
(2) This was yet another way to make me feel meaningless and insignificant -- which I was already well aware I was.
If art education in the schools has not gotten beyond this, I say better without it.
Yet again: "Never again."
