Art courses everywhere are belittled because of so many art teachers who ignore art history - the close and difficult examination of the changes of styles over the centuries - favoring instead a "creative" approach urging the students to paint, draw, etc. according to their own lights.

Shouldn't a sound Art course examine the historical development of style and the students' attempts to reproduce those?

How do YOU teach Art?
