Would you say that Bob Ross would be a great art teacher? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
Bob Ross was fully aware of what he was trying to do with his show. Was he a great artist? It depends on how you feel about landscape paintings.
Here’s a quote from the man himself in a TV interview in 1994:
"I'm trying to teach a form of art that anybody can do, it's not traditional art, it's not fine art, and I don't try to tell anybody it is."
There’s a certain brilliance in that.
I’d say that he was a great teacher for the method he was trying to accomplish. He understood his audience and how to create a positive experience for them with consistent methods and endless encouragement. Same tools, same setup, same techniques delivered with positive vibes every week.
Was he a great artist? Well, people have their opinions on landscape painting. It’s not exactly considered “fine art.” When I was in art school, I had friends who cranked out seascape paintings at the Jersey Shore every summer. People liked them. They made money. Bob Ross had a huge fan base for his work. Nothing wrong with that.
I’ll argue that Bob was great at what he did. He made creating art accessible and did it with a performance element that was both approachable and educational. And that, to me, makes for a great artist even if it doesn’t fit the classic definition.
