Real-World Readings in Art Education: Things Your Professor Never Told You Book

This radical, transgressive, and ultimately liberating volume challenges art educators to "protest, break, ignore, or rewrite the rules that trap art at the curricular periphery." Always fearless and often humorous, the authors of these essays use real-world experiences n and out of the classroom to launch a directed and informed assault on the staid world of discipline-based are education. They define art away from the patriarchal canon, creating an alternative vision of art that encourages children to think and be cultural, creative, and critical. And finally, they "holler" a call for action, presenting innovative approaches to school policy, curricula and instruction.. Real-World Readings in Art Educationwill inspire artists and educators to question their assumptions and rethink their responsibilities.
