How history should be taught.
I hated art history in school (even though art was the only subject in which I excelled in some small way).
Most of it was taught through text with a few pictures thrown in accompanied by the ramblings of a bored art teacher who was trying his best to make it all come alive.
It didn’t work.
Since we now have the technology, get a kick ass icon with a voice of gravel weave a sweet narrative over some impressive visuals. Let it sink in. Then discuss.
Job done.
Well it left me wanting to know more about John Baldessari.
