Tonight I had a lengthy conversation with one of my fellow grad students about an art teacher's intuition, and whether or not a contextual aesthetic perspective can be taught. If a person doesn't innately respond to color, motion and the artist's visual intent, are these elements that can be identified with practice? At the very least, we decided, the task of any art education program should be to inform teachers how to teach these critical topics, even if they remain largely hidden to the instructors themselves.
