Harvard Educational Publishing Group Teachers Bridging Difference: Exploring Identity
Book SynopsisTeachers Bridging Difference describes how educators can move out of their comfort zones and practice connecting with others across differences to become culturally responsive teachers. Based on a course developed for preservice teachers, the book illustrates how educators can draw on the visual arts as a resource to explore their own identities and those of their students, and how to increase their understanding of the ways our lives intersect across sociocultural differences.Drawing on scholarship from multiple disciplines and from her own experience, Marit Dewhurst identifies four stances designed to help educators connect with students in today's multicultural classrooms. To practice these stances, the book introduces eight arts-based activities that can be used by educators in multiple contexts. Ranging from community maps and conversation portraits to scenario comics and reflection zines, the activities are designed to be accessible to even those with little arts experience and can be executed with a wide variety of materials and media.Unique and timely, Teachers Bridging Difference is an arts-based toolkit for teachers interested in exploring issues of identity and difference as a foundation for creating a more just and equal society.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Value of Drawing Instruction in the Visual
Book SynopsisBy applying philosophical and historical perspectives to drawing instruction, this volume demonstrates how diverse teaching methods contribute to cognitive and holistic development applicable within and beyond the visual arts.Offering a new perspective on the art and science of drawing, this text reveals the often-unrecognized benefits that drawing can have on the human mind, and thus argues for the importance of drawing instruction despite, and even due to contemporary digitalization. Given the predominance of visual information and digital media, visual thinking in and through drawing may be an essential skill for the future. As such, the book counters recent declines in drawing instruction to propose five Paradigms for teaching drawing as design, as seeing, as experience and experiment, as expression, and as a visual language with exemplary curricula for pre-K12 art and general education, pre-professional programs across the visual arts, and continuing education. Trade Review"The drawing activity (and its cousins: sketching, doodling, painting, design, calligraphy, sculpting) can be traced back in time at least to early cave paintings more than 30,000 years ago, or even to rock art hundreds of thousands of years ago. Drawing is at the birth of writing and the archiving of ideas, knowledge, giving us a more powerful means to extend our cognitive horizons than the mere oral traditions. Seymour Simmons brings back to the centre this fundamental activity necessary to each human's learning and development: each of us experiments and flexes our brain, in infancy, to learn about representing shapes, the world, and imagine and set theatrical scenarios, in large part through drawing. Simmons sets the stage for the next paradigm shift in education and beyond, in the current era dominated by computing and the scientific method: that of unleashing our creativity with the use of our body-mind through the various dimensions offered by drawing."-- Frederic Fol Leymarie, Professor of Arts Computing, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK"Seymour Simmons' book is a tour de force, covering the panorama of issues in drawing, the arts, education, philosophy-- indeed, what makes for a full life. The book may well be the best synthesis of Project Zero's contributions to artistic education and artistic knowledge."-- Howard Gardner, Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA; Senior Director, Harvard Project Zero, and Ellen Winner, Professor of Psychology Emerita, Boston College, USA; Senior Research Associate, Harvard Project Zero"The drawing activity (and its cousins: sketching, doodling, painting, design, calligraphy, sculpting) can be traced back in time at least to early cave paintings more than 30,000 years ago, or even to rock art hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Art Artists and Pedagogy
Book SynopsisThis volume has been brought together to generate new ideas and provoke discussion about what constitutes arts education in the twenty-first century, both within the institution and beyond. Art, Artists and Pedagogy is intended for educators who teach the arts from early childhood to tertiary level, artists working in the community, or those studying arts in education from undergraduate to Masters or PhD level.From the outset, this book is not only about arts in practice but also about what distinguishes the arts' in education. Exploring two different philosophies of education, the book asks what the purpose of the arts is in education in the twenty-first century. With specific reference to the work of Gert Biesta, questions are asked as to the relation of the arts to the world and what kind of society we may wish to envisage. The second philosophical set of ideas comes from Deleuze and Guattari, looking in more depth at how we configure art, the artisTrade ReviewReframing fundamental, enduring issues in arts education, this collection of papers on the arts, artists and pedagogy is fresh, timely, insightful, at times provocative, always compelling.— Liora Bresler, PhD, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Professor in the College of Education, Curriculum and Instruction, and the School of Art and DesignI find it a useful text for masters students studying early years music as it questions the accepted and challenges us to think about the underlying and often unspoken aspects of arts education in society today... The book calls us to think about our work as music educators as pedagogical artistry…encouraging philosophical discussion and reflection on the role of music education; thereby helping individuals clarify for themselves their role, purpose and identity as music educators.— Jessica Pitt, Honorary Research Fellow University of Roehampton, Music Educator and Researcher"This is a good book. It should be archived in your collection and you should come back to it often. Actually, there’s no other way to be with it. You must come back to it repeatedly. You must read it sequentially sometimes and you should also read it from its last chapter to its introduction."— Jorge Lucero, International Journal of Education & the Arts"…those interested in Deleuzian theories of art, advocacy for the arts in education, and the pedagogical philosophy of Gert Biesta will surely benefit from reading this collection."— Anna Ryoo, University of British Columbia and Samuel D. Rocha, University of British Columbia"Art, Artists and Pedagogy: Philosophy and the Arts in Education invites readers into a lively discussion of current issues in arts education, offering a philosophical ground on which to consider, or re-consider, broad policy questions concerning the nature and purpose of the arts to education and twenty-first century life."—Marissa Nesbit, Arts Education Policy Review"In their book, Naughton, Biesta, Cole, and the other co-authors provide a rich theoretical and philosophical basis where now the individual approaches and ideas can be further developed and transformed into concrete steps."— Annette Ziegenmeyer, University of Wuppertal, Wuppertal, Germany"The book Art, Artists and Pedagogy is a book that highlights philosophical perspectives on art in education. It is a book that references Gert Biesta's educational philosophy, but in dialogue with Deleuze and Guattari's immanent philosophy... Biesta's powerful introductory chapter echoes throughout all 15 chapters." — Anna-Lena Østern, Journal for Research in Arts and Sports EducationTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsList of ContributorsChapter 1.

Random House USA Inc Mornings with Monet
Book SynopsisA new picture book about the iconic artist Claude Monet, from the Caldecott-Award winning team that created The Noisy Paint Box.Claude Monet is one of the world's most beloved artists--and he became famous during his own lifetime. He rejected a traditional life laid out clean and smooth before him. Instead he chose a life of art. But not just any art: a new way of seeing that came to be called impressionism.Monet loved to paint what he saw around him, particularly the Seine River. He was initially rejected for using bright colors, tangled brushstrokes--condemned for his impressions. But soon art dealers and collectors were lining up each morning to see as Monet saw. Monet, however, waited only for the light. The changing light...each morning he had a dozen canvases on hand to paint a dozen different moments. His brush moved back and forth, chasing sunlight--putting in the arduous work to create an image that seemed to contain no effort at all.
