From a social perspective, pedagogy is a relationship between a teacher and a learner according to Pearse, Snider and Taylor. They see teaching as a ‘performance’. These authors look at art pedagogy and believe recently it has been based solidly on subject matter and not pedagogy. They believe that curriculums have caused teachings to forgot what ‘good teaching is’. They state that ‘pedagogy is a way of being’, so not every teacher would be capable of delivering an effective pedagogical programme. “Pedagogy is at its most powerful when the truly wise serve as teachers to the truly youthful” (Rudolph Arnheim, quoted in Pearse, Snider & Taylor). They believe there is something called ‘pedagogical tact’, which is knowing what is best for each child.
