DEBATE AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY: CAN ART BE TAUGHT TO THE FACEBOOK GENERATION?
Last week an impassioned debate took place at the Saatchi Gallery as part of its Art Prize for Schools run in association with the Sunday Telegraph. On the panel were Turner Prize-winning artists Grayson Perry and Antony Gormley; philosopher Alain de Botton; design expert Stephen Bayley and Camila Batmanghelidjh, founder of the children's charity Kids Company. The debate, which you can watch in full here, was chaired by Dame Joan Bakewell and presented by Intelligence Squared.

Can we teach art in the age of Facebook?.....Sounds like the same question when the car replaced the horse drawn carriage....it's all about embracing change which is a constant....the only thing that is predictable is change......

I see the older generation are waking up to facebook! Nice costumes!lol Please talk art on my group, if you wish, you can even explain "WHAT ART IS".

Great ideas, clearly expressed without the usual pretentious and pedantic 'artspeak'. Particularly Camila's points about art stemming from our childlike need to be reflected, to matter, to belong to this world. I hope there are more debates like this in future.
