No. 233 | Art Education: Content and Practice in a Postmodern Era
James Hutchens and Marianne Suggs, Editors
This book examines the effect of postmodern discourse on the content and practice of art in the K-12 schools and university preservice education programs for art teachers. It calls for a rethinking of the "elements and principles, creative self-expression, art in daily living, discipline-based forms, and multicultural forms." More relevant for undergraduate students, claims the postmodernist, is an education that references and places emphasis upon the economic, political, social, and cultural factors inscribed upon the artworld. This text will serve as an important resource for professional development programs, teacher preparation, and those updating or revising their art curriculum.

No. 263 | Art Education: Issues in Postmodernist Pedagogy
Roger Clark
This book is loaded with "postmodern curriculum examples" and contains explicit topics on multiculturalism, reconstructive art, and essentialism, with numerous illustrations for adapting, revising, and updating art curricula. Extraordinarily wide in scope, it deals with postmodern issues for all levels-pre-school through university. First of its kind, it is the only collection of detailed postmodern and Canadian curricular perspectives for the art education profession. The three sections of the book describe "the deliberate ambivalence" of postmodernism, the feminist and multicultural concerns which postmodernism has embraced, and suggestions for reforming art curricula so that it truly mirrors our diverse society. Readers will find characterizations and definitions remarkably clear and useful. It handles complex ideas about the nature of postmodernism and the ways it provides a context for new curricula goals and methods eloquently and concisely.

Arthur Efland, Patricia Stuhr and Kerry Freedman
This book contains detailed examinations of multiculturalism,
modernism, and cultural theory, with numerous illustrations
for the postmodern art curricula, and contains a series
of K-12 classroom portrayals illustrating curriculum
activities. The text deals with the postmodern art curriculum
for all levels—pre-school through university. It
will serve as an important resource for professional

of the book describe the implications of the postmodern
philosophy as a curriculum problem; describe how and
why postmodern ideas have gained currency in the humanities,
art history and in current educational discourse. Postmodern
Art Education: An Approach to Curriculum also provides
characteristics of a postmodern curriculum and suggests
implications for practice including sample lessons at
elementary and secondary levels.
