No. 294 | Teaching Talented Art Students, Principles
and Practices
Gilbert Clark and Enid Zimmerman
Based on more than 25 years of work and research in the field, Clark and Zimmerman present contemporary issues and theories regarding the education of artistically talented students. The authors provide practical information on how teachers and administrators can develop curriculum and programs that help students realize their visual-arts talents. Clark and Zimmerman show how students should be encouraged to focus on communication and expression, create unique and complicated works using real-world issues and images, seek critiques from teachers and peers, and explore historical and contemporary imagery by other artists whose work relates to their own. Includes 40 illustrations and 35 figures that include practical applications of identification.

Andra L. Nyman and Anne M. Jenkins, Editors
This anthology is about art education for students with special needs. It focuses on art education settings in the mainstream of education in the community and the public schools.

The text combines the knowledge and experience of many teachers and will provide the reader with an overview of important issues as well as the approaches and strategies that have been successful for each of the authors.
