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)
