dc.description.abstractThe Arts today competes with the sciences in a technological driven world. The advent of innovations in the science world had made the arts look like the archaic knowledge with no present and future relevance. The contemporary Nigerian society silently adapts this believe system. This so bad that being a doctor, engineer or scientist is considered to be more of social value than being an artist. Treated like the African perspective of a woman, the arts play the second fiddle. In Nigeria, the development of factors that enter into the present day problem in art education are not unconnected with the behaviors of the Christian missionaries. The opened schools and used them as means of conversion, in this regard children were found to be more valuable than adults. If children in their growth process are captured early in life then success can be sure to be achieved in whatever endeavors. The missionaries viewed and treated Nigerian traditional arts with contempt, which resulted in a general break down of traditional apprenticeship system. No efforts were made to provide substitutes for it. The healthy relationship that existed through the apprenticeship training system has been replaced today, Nigeria is faced with a major problem arising from the influx of foreign cultural influences. Even after forty-six years of Nigerian independence most ideas and instruments of development are from outside, sources. Also, for social and cultural demands to be made through books, cinemas, magazines, television outputs and teaching aids most are still completely imported.
