Houston, Paul D.
Art Education, v33 n8 p28-30 Dec 1980
The author exposes and refutes some of the biases, beyond the "back-to-basics" movement itself, which hamper acceptance of the arts in the schools. Negative attitudes cited are that the arts are (1) only for the artistic; (2) deal only with emotions; (3) are feminine; and (4) are expensive. (SJL)
