Summary
Classical visual arts teachers face a unique challenge. The academic art tradition of the past was unable to contend with modernism, and contemporary, postmodern art devalues skill and truth. Classical K-12 art educators must form a new vision of art education. We should draw from the Western tradition, account for the realities of our industrial age, and find the commonalities of great art across time. Our students should be comfortable making art, and talking about art in an informed and meaningful way that will enable them to interact with art even as adults.
