We need to teach our children art, literature and music appreciation, more than creationism, or "ethnic studies", whatever that is, or we'll continue to have starving artists, and philistine millionaires with definite opinions of Andy Warhol, and what's art, what's junk, paying thousands of dollars for bad flea market kitsch!
Unfortunately, the folks who become millionaires are usually so single-minded about whatever they are doing that after making their pile they suddenly wake up and realize that they didn't pay any attention to art, literature, or music while they were coming along.
At that point, if they're canny, they hire a gentlewoman or gentleman in distressed circumstances to bring them up to speed. If they're not, they pay thousands of dollars for bad flea market kitsch and learn art appreciation the hard way . . . when their art depreciates . . .
I have a son who's that way. He's so single-minded about what he likes (tinkering with machines and electronics) that any information about art and music goes in one ear and out the other. We keep on providing the information in the hopes that some of it will stick, subconsciously or something.
