In Teaching Art, creative writing teacher Dennis Gaens looks into what it means to teach art in the present day. In this three part series he looks into where we teach art, who teaches it and what exactly is being taught.

In this second episode, he explores who should be teaching art, what kind of stance is necessary. He does so in conversation with writers and teachers Jesse Ball, Lorena Briedis and John Vigna.
