Abstract
Abstract: This article is a think piece that asks educators to reexamine ideas around outcomes of visual arts programs. The view that the value of a visualarts education consists primarily in transferrable skills, defined as those valued by business, is, the author suggests, not the appropriate metric. Instead, a number of outcomes are presented and rationalized.
