Is Beneficial Elitism Beneficial?
Hobbs, Jack A.
Studies in Art Education, v29 n3 p275-81 Spr 1988
Discussing Ralph Smith's monograph EXCELLENCE IN ART EDUCATION: IDEAS AND INITIATIVES, the author criticizes the reliance on "classics" or "masterpieces" for art education. Stating that Smith's elitism is unbeneficial, Hobbs advocates a mixture of the classics and local and popular art with a disposition to interpret and criticize. (GEA)
