A former student of mine just sent me a link to a website that was just too fantastic not to share. When I teach art appreciation there is a section on art criticism which includes a discussion of fine art versus kitsch, so this is totally perfect for that. I hope you enjoy it!! I have included a link to her site and a YouTube video of an interview on their local NBC station.

Wow I learned something new! Never knew what Kitsch was. I bookmarked this site. I think I could spend all day looking around :)
Thanks for your kudos and appreciation! I've been deep into this conversation about art versus Kitsch for decades. Please visit the museum at AWMoK.com and don't be shy about putting some stuff up there even if it's just an opinion. There's a constant discussion about this going on and some of the funniest stuff you'll ever see in the world there. I'm a midwest gal myself (Detroit, but living in LA for many years) and know the kitsch abounds there. I spent quite a lot of time in Chicago in 2007 when the musical I wrote, The Color Purple, was there for seven months.
