Art is universal – there has never been a human society without
it. But we don’t always agree on what makes for good art, or even
what makes something art at all. Ellen Winner, PhD, of Boston
College, talks about how psychology can help answer the question
“What is art?” why even non-experts can tell the difference between
a child’s painting and an abstract masterpiece, why art forgeries
bother us so much, the purpose of arts education, and more.
