Talk:Art conversation questions

A point I bring up with my students is that of general culture/knowledge etc. The example I give is that I once went to check something in the Britannica and my eyes wandered off to the art entry. In the index of the ten most important painters, I knew the names and works - more or less - of three. Two of them I'd heard of but the other FIVE were completely unknown to me. OK, so I've never studied art, but I'm a reasonably cultured person and am more or less interested in art. The bottom line is, how can we incorporate that point succintly into the questions?
