No. 227 | Thinking in Art: A Philosophical Approach to Art Education
Charles M. Dorn
Thinking in Art is the starting place for anyone writing or revising an art curriculum! It uses a philosophical approach to help art teachers test their own educational values in order to design art curricula which goes beyond requiring all students to do the same thing in the same way according to the same timetable. Through the analysis of historical, philosophical, critical, and aesthetic systems, art teachers are shown how to link student creative thinking, critical thinking, and creative art making into the kinds of school learning the visual arts do best. An important curriculum text for every university art education program to help future teachers shape the design of their art curriculum.

No. 205 | Revisitations: Ten Little Pieces on Art Education
Harlan Hoffa

Research in art education, the CEMREL project, the presidency of NAEA and advisor with the U.S. Office of Education, and insights about Kathy Bloom at the Arts and Humanities Program are among the "stories" told in this book.

No. 252 | Teaching Art and So On
Edmund Burke Feldman
NAEA's newest addition to its Noted Scholar Series.
His insights: On Art Theory—"I think theory
should have a shelf-life of at least a generation; it
should be valid for a longer period than it takes to
write a dissertation; and it should be the product of
mature reflection upon the art created in many climes,
at many times, by many peoples. Most important, art
education theory should be centered on processes that
lead to, or flow from, the production of visual images.
In other words, leave the brain physiology to neuroanatomists."
On Technology—"Educators tend to think that
when a new kind of hardware comes along it should be
incorporated somehow into our instructional delivery
system. But that, I fear, is a rather simple-minded
way to respond to a new technology. Thus far, teaching
with computers has not accomplished much that matters;
watching films instead of reading books does not solve
our basic educational problems; and substituting photography
for drawing makes little sense from an artistic standpoint."
