đ©âđ Why do art history university programs often fall short in preparing students for the real world?
Inspired by conversations with students, educators, and industry professionals, (especially the latest interview episode of All About Art with Eleanor Getting and Amelia Stallworthy) in this episode I explore whatâs missing from traditional curricula and how we can rethink art education to better equip future artists and scholars for the real world not just academic merit.
Whether you're an art history student, educator, or youâre someone whoâs curious about how art education shapes careers, please tune in. I feel like we should all be a part of this conversation, especially when it comes to urging universities to add even just one or two lectures to their curriculum that focus more on the practical uses of arts-related degrees.
