Abstract
In this paper we examine the relationship between romantic idealism and vocational goals of art education in Nova Scotia, Canada, in the 19th century. Ideas found in Nova Scotia are compared and contrasted to those of John Ruskin. Some Nova Scotian educators held ideas similar to Ruskin's early notions on art and morality, especially those related to art's reflection of the divinity of nature. These educators did not, however, hold views similar to Ruskin's later political beliefs. Consequently, they came up with different answers to questions about the relationship of art to work. We end the paper with a brief discussion of these issues as they relate to contemporary art education.
