Modern Art vs Classical Art: What Students Should Really Learn


Listen Later

What role should art play in a classical education—and how do we teach it well? In this episode, Kyle Janke, author of _A Classical History of Art_ , joins the team to explore the visual arts—sculpture, architecture, and painting—through the lens of Western art history. From the ancient world to the Renaissance, they trace a broad Western art history timeline and discuss how engaging with great art forms students' hearts as well as minds.

 

The conversation covers teaching art history, how to evaluate beauty, and why classical art still matters in a modern world. You'll hear reflections on personal encounters with art, the distinction between modern art vs. classical art, and practical tips for teachers and parents alike. Whether you're new to art history or a longtime fan of classical education, this episode will deepen your appreciation for the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.
