Of course many people on this list support the book "Why Art Cannot Be
Taught: A Handbook for Art Students" by James Elkins, which I believe
actually explains why art CAN be taught. If you look over Elkins over
simplifications and generalizations of how faculty interact with students,
you do see and interesting take on art and academia and what that means to
students and teachers alike and how communication could be improved. -Chris
