No. 228 | Design for Inquiry: Instructional Theory, Research, and Practice in Art Education
Elizabeth Manley Delacruz
This unique book translates instructional theory and
research into today's curriculum for student learning
in art. It is loaded with substantive examples of instructional
methods, instructional strategies, learning principles,
motivation, and research on teacher effectiveness. Design
for Inquiry focuses on current research on teaching
and teacher effectiveness, a comparison of instructional
methods, a discussion of learning and motivation (including
the relationship between teacher attitude and student
success), and a look at daily life in the classroom
from both teacher and student perspectives. The section
in the final chapter on "What is Good Teaching?"
is especially helpful for self-reflection and evaluation.

No. 214 | Aesthetics: Issues and Inquiry
E. Louis Lankford
The author sets out in this book to familiarize or
reacquaint the reader with the major topics and issues
in aesthetics. He succeeds admirably in creating a handbook
for educators wishing to incorporate aesthetics in their
art programs—from elementary and secondary art
teachers to higher education professionals to museum
educators. From a comprehensive look at what aesthetics
is to a brief view of human development in relation
to art learning to a complete system for introducing
aesthetics to students and moving them progressively
toward more complex forms of aesthetic inquiry, this
book aims for the practical concerns of the classroom
educator.

A beautiful book! Read it, and you go on three adventures: Observe the talk, excitement, and creative wonder as first graders make desk blotters. Go exploring with some fifth graders out into the woods to express with sticks, rocks, earth, and cameras.
