In light of Maxine Greene’s paper, ‘The Artistic-Aesthetic Curriculum’ discuss the view that art has only a minimal role to play in education.

 

In this essay, I will discuss the statement that “art has only a minimal role to play in education”. I will explain the role of art as a subject. I will elucidate the positive effects that art has on a developing mind and their personal advancement. Why, as a subject, does it always seem to be looked down upon or not seen as important as the rest of the curriculum?
