Interest in art???

Has the younger generation lost interest in art? What drives children to art? If I was to evaluate a student trip to a museum how will the students react? Will they care for the art? Is this a matter of not being familiar with a specific piece of work because of social class?

Public schools versus private schools?

Being the graduate of a public HS I well predict that many public HS students could care less for the paintings in the museums. I can see them participating and reacting more to the man with the guitar near the Four train.
