Is art an elective? Dr. Peter Mooz talks about the ways children come to know art. And he says no, rather than an elective, art is the greatest expression of a civilization.
An artist uses his knowledge of technology, economics, philosophy, theology, and anatomy to tell us about his world.
Children are able to put themselves in the viewer/artist relationship without any trouble and without any prejudices. Art helps children build up their visual muscles and develop their ability to discern as they view art.
