5.0 out of 5 starsProvides a solid understanding of social forces
By Jason W. Marchmon on August 8, 2005
Format: Paperback
Do the arts deserve a higher place in our children's education? Yes... and no... It depends on your outlook in relation to history. This text places art education within the social context of general education in the West (most specifically America for a majority of the book). Doing so allows for an examination of why one generation may learn about art and its process, while the next generation will remain almost entirely ignorant of traditions and methods of artistic creation. Art lovers (and haters) as well as history enthusiasts (education, art, social currents, etc...) will certainly enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 starsBought it because I checked it out of the library too much!
By J. Landin on November 15, 2009
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent review of the historical approaches to art in education. My personal interests lie in the pre-1960 eras, especially pre-1930s. This is the best reference I have found on this topic - it thoroughly explains each educational philosophy and tactic, and the historical ramifications of those actions.

5.0 out of 5 starsA much needed book for Art educators.
By Clint Hanson on December 16, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a very important reference book that enables educators to understand the backbone of Art Education and where it is heading. It provides a much needed insite of how and why art education is what it is today and how it has developed through history.

4.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant
By K. A. Cook on November 15, 2007
Format: Paperback
I have not yet finished this book, which is why I can't give it 5 stars. But it is brilliantly written with a strong thesis which is supported throughout. The way it ties the history of the arts and societal differences into the educating of artists and arts education is incredibly clever. I'm currently going to school for art, history and education and this book ties them altogether in a way that makes learning the information incredibly interesting and useful. Arthur Efland is my new hero.
