Teaching and Studying Art History: Some Anthropological and Sociological Considerations.
Chalmers, F. Graeme
Studies in Art Education, v20 n1 p18-25 1978
Art history teaching has traditionally emphasized stylistic analysis of Western art. We need to broaden our definition of what art is and why it is integral to cultural life. The sociologist and the anthropologist can contribute to our knowledge of how social factors affect art. (Author/SJL)
