Book SynopsisOffering a contemporary overview of how visual art teachers assess learning in their classrooms, this book provides an outline of the role of assessment in reporting not only student achievement but also how student assessment ties to the intrinsic and external assessments of teacher performance.Compiled using stories from the classrooms of 19 visual art high school teachers who share their approaches to benchmarking student success, the text encourages teachers to consider assessment both for guiding their students to achieve artistic goals and for re-envisioning their own curriculum and instruction. The featured assessment snapshots fall along four strands: Visual Narratives and Visual Literacy; Capturing Empathic Understandings and Social Engagement; Measuring Risk-taking and Ingenuity; and Assessing Collaborative and Integrated Learning Outcomes. Across these sections, teacher contributors offer different perspectives for student assessment, capturing a snapshot of the woTrade Review"The National Art Education Association is proud to support the integrity and diligent efforts of Cathy Smilan and Richard Siegesmund in bringing this book to light.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the tradition of critique in art and design education. It examines how critique, as a signature pedagogy in the field, has evolved, how it falls short, and what else it can be. Current practices are contextualized and suggestions are made for ways to have more open, inclusive and dynamic classroom conversations about art and design. Included is a discussion of the history of critique, grounding current practice in the discipline’s history, the field of education, and characteristics of contemporary students. The book is designed to be useful, with an array of critique methods, written by experienced arts educators. Each one guides the reader through a method, describing “why you might do it this way” and “for what group, purpose, or type of assignment”. The text explores what the art critique is, and what it can be, offering practical, updated approaches for faculty and students seeking more educationally beneficial and nuanced critiqueTrade Review"Let’s Talk about Critique includes a variety of ways to look at and talk about work, pushing beyond the stale traditions and enlivening the possibilities for what can happen in discussing art. Armstrong and Doren provide a very thorough history and critique of the critique, as well as solutions to the inadequacies of the past traditions. The book meets an important need, evolving the critique from an authority/judgment model to a dialogue where all voices are respected and content meaning is addressed." -- Susan Waters-Eller, Maryland Institute College of Art“In Let’s Talk about Critique, Armstrong and Doren make a compelling case for the necessity of different studio critiques within contemporary higher education. This book is an extensive and diverse catalogue of innovative studio critiques, explores the history of the studio critique, and discusses recent studies on Generation Z.” -- Roger Rothman, Bucknell UniversityTable of ContentsList of Figures List of Tables Acknowledgements Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisDiscover the ruins of the Parthenon, one of the most famous and beautiful places in the world!     Athens, Greece, is best known for the Parthenon, the ruins of an ancient temple completed in 438 BC to honor the goddess Athena. But what many people don't know is that it only served as a temple for a couple hundred years. It then became a church, then a mosque, and by the end of the 1600s served as a storehouse for munitions. When an enemy army fired hundreds of cannon balls at the Acropolis, one directly hit the Parthenon. Much of the sculpture was destroyed, three hundred people died, and the site fell into ruin. Today, visitors continue to flock to this world famous landmark, which has become a symbol for Ancient Greece, democracy, and modern civilization. Includes black-and-white illustrations and a foldout color map!

Authors Marty Maxwell Lane and Rebecca Tegtmeyer introduce a range of case study collaborations, both face-to-face and remote, and between individuals and groups. The book addresses the basics of getting started, planning ahead and reflecting on outcomes, alongside the issues that come up in collaborative work, e.g. cross-cultural exchange, or managing roles within a diverse team. Editorial commentary runs throughout the chapter introductions and case studies, with informatics illustrating key concepts and expanded call out' points in the martin. More complex case studies offer a deep dive' section to explain and share further details of the featured projects.Trade ReviewLane and Tegtmeyer explore both the power and the struggle of collaboration in design. Through a series of case studies they pull the reader into a range of projects, providing a wealth of inspiration for designers operating in academia and industry. Ultimately, they address a crucial, contemporary question: how can we work together to take on the complex problems of our age. -- Helen Armstrong, Associate Professor of Graphic Design, North Carolina State University, USAThis book supports the call to reimagine, redirect and refocus graphic design education as a collaborative, improvisational and less outcome-based practice in the 21st Century. It doesn’t pretend to have all the answers but instead presents a trove of case studies from US schools, illustrating the insights and pitfalls of collaborative work in trans-disciplinary, socially-engaged and politically aware design curricula. -- Peter A.
