What Makes Art Good?

What makes good art "good"? This is a question that has sparked debate for centuries, from the first prehistoric cave paintings to the masterpieces of today. In this blog, we explore an engaging lesson idea for upper primary school students that delves into different art theories. By using four key "isms" – Formalism, Mimetic Art Theory, Instrumentalism, and Emotionalism – teachers can encourage pupils to think critically about what defines good art. This lesson offers a great way to introduce art theory, foster classroom discussions, and inspire young minds to appreciate diverse artistic perspectives. Perfect for use in Art2Fund's Educational Art Weeks.
