Art Criticism and Education

Art Criticism and Education completes the Disciplines in Art Education
        series. In the first section, Theodore Wolff deals with the role of the
        art critic in education. He gives a practical overview of how the principles
        and practices of art criticism can be applied to the teaching of art (k-12).
        In the second, George Geahigan begins with an historical overview of art
        criticism in education literature and provides a conceptualized approach
        to critical inquiry, asserting that the most effective form of that inquiry
        is the pursuit of meaning in works of art. A rare combination of the practical
        and theoretical, Art Criticism and Education will be an invaluable
        aid to anyone involved in art education.
