You are an administrator in a school system charged with designing a new high school curriculum. You are under pressure, for economic reasons, to include only "essential" subjects in the curriculum. You're aware that most of your colleagues believe that "essential" subjects are limited to math, science, reading, writing, and history-but not art. In light of this, you decide to write a letter, in
the form of an essay to your colleagues, that defends the inclusion of art classes and art appreciation in the curriculum, because of the essential educational value of art. Your essay should include the views of Confucius, Schiller, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, although you are not limited to these points of view. If you've had a personal experience of the educational power of art, share that as well. Be specific about how educational values are linked to aesthetic values Also be specific about what "arts" and "art appreciation" you would include-formal art, and/or popular art?
What will be an ideal response?
This essay requires that students think through the issue of the educational value of art appreciation, drawing on resources in the chapter, although it also includes the possibility of discussing art production, which the chapter mainly ignores.
