Two Ways To Teach Art

Two art schools in Adelaide, Australia illustrate competing approaches to making art. “Put at its crudest, one is identified with the painterly tradition; the other is all-inclusive, taking in everything from performance and video to glassmaking. The latter is our major art school, SA School of Art, where teaching artists to think is deemed as important as teaching technique. In contrast is the Adelaide Central School of Art, where the focus is on training and technique.”
