Episode 171: Terminology in Art Education

Laura and Matt Grundler

Karl Cole

There are words that have become staples across art education and art classrooms—“old masters”, “aesthetics”, “mythology”, “expressionism”. Why is it so important to consider the terminology used with students and who is the authority on what terms stay and what terms become irrelevant? We say it’s you—art educators. That’s why in this episode, the Creativity Department is joined again by Davis Publications resident art historian Karl Cole to talk about the importance of reviewing terms used in the art room. How we talk about artists and their work directly influences the way students understand the art and develop their point of view. Listen in and hear all Karl has to share!
