Description
As art educators consider the relevance of a wide range of disciplines to the teaching of art, Aesthetics and Arts Education (a successor to the 1971 volume Aesthetics and the Problems of Education) offers an international look at the role aesthetics can play in teaching all the arts. Thirty-two articles by American and English scholars address the philosophical and educational theories underlying aesthetics, aesthetics as a field of study, curriculum design and evaluation, and the problems and purposes of aesthetic education.
Reviews / Votes
"A major contribution to the literature of aesthetic education. It gathers together many significant papers in aesthetics and arts education, papers that are not readily available to educators since they are the product of both American and British thinkers. This provides a source of authoritative guidance needed in this period of transition in arts education." -- George Geahigan, coordinator of art education, department of creative arts, Purdue UniversityMore details
