Traditionalism• Social control is necessary in order for society
to function.• The function of art in traditional societies is to
carry on the message of that tradition from one generation to the next. The aesthetic element of art in this instance is to draw people into that message.

DISCUSSION QUESTION 1
Starting out in this course, what do you think that it means to teach art for meaning? How would you go about teaching art in this manner?
![Page 38: What Is Art](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54702e7caf79598a778b467b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
DISCUSSION QUESTION 2
Discuss whether you think art should be taught for its own sake or as interdisciplinary connection. Do you think there is room for both positions, or does one necessarily eliminate the other?
