Of course it should be changed. Art history, art education, and studio arts overlap one another. Teach the subjects that way. Put them in the same building. When art education students get further into their degree and start learning art in education, move them from the education building to the fine arts department. Same for art history. Being in the same place rather than scattered all over campus will help build relationships and exposure with the students. It will build a dialogue that is missing and so important between the three sides to the same discipline. Also, to further the relationships and dialouge a class that integrates the art students. Similar to senior seminar, but not only for the senior year, but maybe the last two years really build that solidarity between the different art perspectives. That full understanding of perspectives can be carried into the lower grades. Hopefully.
