I mostly see these things as cheating, but as an educator it's a legit point to consider. If we truly believe art can be for everyone, then how easy is too easy? Putting the money-making aspects of these ideas (products) aside, when we teach the "real" way to do it...are we excluding people simply due to their lack of time or ambition?
What does "art for everyone" mean? a) do we truly believe this and b) if it is, how do we then approach products like these? if it's not, what does it mean to be an educator that doesn't believe in every student?
