Art or Craft?
What is art? Most people will think that art is like craft. Playing with the tools and making beautiful things. Art is not just easy as cutting and pasting. Art requires person's knowledge in tools and materials. Such as, how to place metal to metal without melting the form, how to print from wood and metal plate, and how to make ceramic coil pots. An art teacher, who is experienced artist, has knowledge in the materials and technique. Art teacher is like the guide for the students to develop their artwork. Art teaching is more than just teaching students how to cut and paste. Art teacher need to be experienced with knowledge and understand the process of making art.

I'm art ed. so obviously I totally agree with you. But for any subject, a teacher is more than just disbursing facts they are conveying a deeper understanding and knowledge to their students.
