Learning about human psychology has been ignored and this ignorance has been institutionalized. As a result, the study of art did not concentrate on the actual experience of human expression in this planetary environment and the innate human ability to perceive as a whole; an ability that underlies the primary human impulse toward expression. The creation of art as a distinct category of human behavior had the effect of downgrading the universal urge to expression. Art is degraded in the educative process and looked upon as non-contributive social nicety. |
