Mixed feelings
I know that this is one of the classic texts defending the need for a well-rounded arts education, but it's a bore. I am an art teacher and genuinely support the messages of this text, but found it a challenging, dull, long read. This book redundant and a bit difficult to follow. The author seems more interested in using academic jargon than defending the role of the arts...

This review is from: The Arts and the Creation of Mind (Paperback)
Mr. Eisner explain the applications of the skills fostered by the fine arts educational experience. Giving especific examples, the author illuminates the dark side of the fine arts usefullness. On chapter four (soul of the book) deals with what can be expected from the fine arts experience and the real application of the acquired skills. More important, Eisner highlight the fact that the student has a self motivated and intrinsic satisfaction experience when learning thru the arts, something quite difficult to achieve with academics matters.

Very good resource for anyone working with students and art education,
This review is from: The Arts and the Creation of Mind (Paperback)
Elliot Eisner has written a wonderful book about why arts are important for education- not as a supplement but as a way to learn. Recommended for anyone teaching children!

This review is from: The Arts and the Creation of Mind (Paperback)
I know that this is one of the classic texts defending the need for a well-rounded arts education, but it's a bore. I am an art teacher and genuinely support the messages of this text, but found it a challenging, dull, long read. This book redundant and a bit difficult to follow. The author seems more interested in using academic jargon than defending the role of the arts in the development of the mind. This is a text that I will hang onto as a reference guide, but it is definitely not a text that was enjoyable to read.
