The Elitist-Populist Controversy: A Response to Ralph Smith.
Geahigan, George
Studies in Art Education, v26 n3 p178-80 Spr 1985
The central policy issue in the elitist-populist controversy is what works of art are to be included in curricula. Elitists defend the choice of exemplary pieces of art as instructional materials; populists find this advocacy of exemplars restrictive. How the choice of aesthetic exemplars constitutes a curriculum issue is discussed. (RM)
