About this title

Synopsis

In discussing how art education theorists, teachers, and artists might think about art education in new ways, this book delves into five topics, each the subject of a separate chapter. First is the new "official" interest in art education, beginning with the national goals, which were formalized in the Goals 2000 legislation of 1994. Second is discipline-based art education theory. Third is an examination of postmodernism. Fourth is a consideration of constructivist teaching theory within the context of art education. Fifth is a survey of new computer technology for applications that can serve art education. And the sixth chapter offers a summary of this critical convergence and addresses related issues, such as arts research.
