I was an Art History student and all the professors were ‘odd’. They loved to lecture us about the personal lives of painters and other artists, as if their personal lives were what we needed to study instead of their pictures.

I taught Art History for over twenty years. Many students just out of secondary public school are barely literate. I included personal material about artists in my lectures with the caveat that some of the material was pure BS and would be on tests. At least that gave the ones who cared some incentive to learn how to use the library.
