In an age when pictures have become more eloquent than words, schools are still programmed to reduce the child’s immersive interaction with the visual world to the practical poverty of the alphabet. Visual literacy should become a pedagogical priority in order to prepare our children to function within the increasingly visual complexity of our environment.
– Vik Muniz Art objects are inanimate sad bits of matter hanging in the dark when no one is looking. The artist only does half the work; the viewer has to come up with the rest, and it is by empowering the viewer that the miracle of art gains its force.

We design educational programs not merely to improve schools, but also to improve ways in which students think. Each of the fields or disciplines that students encounter provides a framework, that is, a structure, schema, and theory, through which the world is experienced, organized, and understood.
In this sense, the school's curriculum can be considered a mind-altering device. – Elliot Eisner You can’t teach art, so art school is a contradiction in terms.
