No. 210 | Intricate Palette: Working the Ideas of Elliot Eisner
P. Bruce Uhrmacher and Jonathan Matthews, editors and published by Prentice Hall
With contributions from some of the leading figures in the field, this is an insightful analysis and evaluation of the "intricate palette" that is the work of Elliot Eisner, through a reexamination of Eisner's seminal writings. After an introduction to Eisner's basic ideas and their origins in his personal experience, the heart of the book comprises four sections that address Eisner's impact on curriculum; qualitative evaluation and research; the arts in education; and teaching, teacher education, and reform. A reflective final chapter serves as an epilogue, providing observations from all of the previous chapters. An excellent text for graduate-level Curriculum, Art Education, and Qualitative Research courses.

No. 236 | Writings in Art Education: Recipients of the Manuel Barkan Memorial Award 1970-1999
Paul E. Bolin, Editor
This book is a compilation of the published articles selected to receive the Manuel Barkan Memorial Award between the years 1970 and 1999. The Manuel Barkan Award was initiated by the National Art Education Association in 1970. The award was established to honor Dr. Manuel Barkan (1913-1970), a prominent and influential art educator throughout the 1950s and '60s, and faculty member in Art Education at The Ohio State University from 1947 until his death in 1970. Dr. Barkan's scholarly dedication and thoughtful insights have left a legacy for the field through the many people he has influenced and vital ideas he proposed and published. Manuel Barkan's significant contributions to art education through his involvement in the 1965 Penn State Seminar and other professional venues helped to establish a direction for art education that affects the field even today. The work of these authors individually, and now collectively, offers a valuable view of conditions in the field of art education throughout a period of 30 years. They reflect conditions and thoughts of the time in which they were authored and published, and help us to trace and explore connections between salient ideas in our field and significant contextual matters of the times in which they were written.

No. 287 | Barkan
Mary Zahner
Barkan is the first book to give the reader
an in-depth feel for art education's struggle to define
itself. It reveals the source and development of key
concepts influencing the theory and practice of art
education in the mid-twentieth century. It depicts Manuel
Barkan's prominent roll in the shaping the character
of contemporary art education. "The argument continues
to rest on the fruitless dichotomous level of appreciation
or creative expression, skills or free expression, esthetic
or social values, fine arts or industrial arts, handicraft
or machine made objects, practical value or leisure
time interest, integration or segregation, for the talented
or the average. . ." To do this, says Barkan, "art
educators need to enter into thoughtful and disciplined
modifications of the teaching programs they conduct,—disciplined
in the sense that they reflect upon their purposes and
evaluate their action as teachers in terms of these
purposes."

No. 276 | The Flower Teachers: Stories for a New Generation
Candace Jesse Stout
They were the vanguard faculty who welcomed racial integration and stood waiting as school buses boarded their students, carrying some to the suburbs, some to the projects of the inner city. In their classrooms, children saw human-kind launch into space and walk on the moon. Now, at the opening of a new century, as seasoned veterans and master teachers, they are experiencing the wonder of the World Wide Web and the social, pedagogical, and technological complexities that come with it. For this generation, the sweep of the educational pendulum has been long, deep, and pronounced.

No. 285 | In Their Own Words: The Development of Doctoral Study in Art Education
James Hutchens, Editor
"In their own words" is the key to this anthology. The history of NAEA coincides with the expansion of graduate art education. From 1941 a number of universities offering the doctorate greatly affected the concepts that have driven our profession. It is a first-hand account of the development of doctoral study in these institutions. Authors were asked to consider concepts which guided curriculum of various sites and how they have changed over time, to discuss relationships between theory and practice and to chronicle the growth of scholarship in art education at their respective institutions, and to consider cross-fertilization among art education leaders such as: Frederick M. Logan, Judith Burton, Brent Wilson, Arthur Efland, June King McFee, Elliot W. Eisner, Ivan E. Johnson, Sally McRorie, Jack Taylor, D. Jack Davis, Christine Marmei Thompson , Steve Thunder-McGuire, William McCarter, Gilbert Clark, Guy Hubbard, Enid Zimmerman, David Ecker, Jerome Hausman, Jean L. Langan, Ronald W. Neperud, Graeme Chalmers, Elizabeth J. Sacca, Robert J. Parker, and Mary Ann Stankiewicz. Educators are also encouraged to order extra copies for library, reference, and historical collections, including staff development libraries and teacher resource centers.

No. 280 | Histories of Community-Based Art Education
Kristin G. Congdon, Doug Blandy, Paul E. Bolin, Editors
The history of community-based art education is often associated with children, youth, and adults coming together in formal and informal cultural organizations. These places can serve as spaces for public discourse about art and other issues of mutual concern, including the traditional and popular arts. These diverse art objects and practices function, in part, as catalysts for dialogue about individual and group identity, local and national concerns, and ultimately the pursuit of democracy. Hearing the stories of others should cause us to pause and reflect on our own position in the world. What stories are woven into the fabric of who we are? What tales from our past have shaped and continue to form our lives today? Educators are also encouraged to order extra copies for library, reference, and historical collections, including staff development libraries and teacher resource centers.

No. 273 | Exploring the Legends: Guideposts to the Future
Sylvia K. Corwin, Editor
In the history of U.S. art education, the era that followed World War II was also an age of heroes. What made the individuals celebrated in this volume into the legends that they have become? There were four leading ideas or planks that in many respects formed the platform that characterized art education after the war. Ziegfeld's goal of promoting art in daily living. This is the view that art is a part of the daily life of the individual, that art belongs to the common man, the man-in-the-street, that it is not the exclusive province of social or intellectual elites. He believed that art education should help shape a democratic art for a democratic society. Lowenfeld's goal of cultivating the child's expressive impulses through art education, thus to cultivate psychological health, freedom, and democracy. Another is the belief that art education does not exist to create artists, but well adjusted individuals. Art is less a body of subject matter than a developmental activity. In this regard Lowenfeld's instrumental use of art was compatible with Ziegfeld's. D'Amico's goal of cultivating art within art education, especially modern art. Modern art is desirable in art education not only because it values originality in expression but also because in encouraging creativeness it is a socially progressive influence in all aspects of society. Arnheim's goal of cultivating the cognitive abilities of individuals through the arts because they are principally cognitive endeavors. Art education is primarily concerned with understanding and thinking in the various media comprising the visual arts.

No. 284 | The Autobiographical Lectures of Some Prominent Art Educators
Ralph Raunft, Editor
In an age that skeptically looks at the heroes of today and yesterday, and often unduly canonizes media or cultural superstars, The Autobiographical Lectures call art educators to acknowledge the contributions and lives of extraordinary people. Thus it becomes crucial for those involved in education to identify those persons that constitute examples of thoughtful, reflecting, and influencing. The heroes of the past...and the heroes of the present, both sung and unsung, must be studied and their means of influence understood and reconstituted so that they speak to the present milieu. For seasoned art educators, these lectures act as a collective memory-not only to motivate nostalgia, but also to give additional meaning and context to their own life history. These stories are not just the transmission of autobiographical information, but a social dialogue developed between the teller of the story and the audience that maintains a social bond. Lectures should be in every art education library collection for future students and researchers.

No. 249 | A 19th Century Government Drawing Master: The Walter Smith Reader
F. Graeme Chalmers
This Reader is about the making of a Victorian drawing master, about his "weary years of hard work," on both sides of the Atlantic; the testing of his theories, his labors, his wisdom, and his fruitful service. It begins at birth and ends beyond death "with [some] halting place[s] between." Because Smith has been widely acknowledged as the leading 19th century advocate for art education in the public schools of America, this Reader contextualizes brief excerpts from his writing and interweaves them in a critical biography. Walter Smith was the first art educator to be front page news in a major American newspaper, was the first to design and produce teacher and student texts for a comprehensive art program from Grades 1 through 12, was the first American City Supervisor of Art Education (Boston), was the first American State Director of Art Education (Massachusetts), was the first American Art Education Professor, and was the first, and possibly only, art educator to be appointed to, and fired from, positions as City Supervisor, State Director, and Art Education Professor.

No. 209 | The Complete Lanier: A Professional Profile
James S. Lanier
"Vincent Lanier does more than raise uncomfortable questions. He is a very skillful phrase-maker and has a way of puncturing educational platitudes that few can equal," said Edmund Feldman. "I think Vincent is one of our best polemicists because he enjoys deflating pompousness wherever it shows up. Over a long teaching career he has witnessed a good many art educational infatuations. Apparently it pains him to see us taken in by purveyors of instructional snake oil. That pain, of course, is the obverse of a kind of love. Underneath Lanier's crusty exterior lies a large deposit of affection for our profession and an irrepressible idealism about what art can accomplish for the good of humanity..." This book, a professional profile of a senior art educator, Vincent Lanier, is an annotation of his published writings, a personal and professional biography noting the main influences on the subject's ideas and writings, including the influence of his ideas on the field, and significant ideas as found in published writings. "... Frankly," says Feldman, "I'm anxious to learn who or what has become the latest target of his righteous wrath. When Lanier lectures, no sacred cow, no educational fetish, is safe."
