Routledge Decolonial Arts PRAXIS
Book SynopsisDecolonial Arts Praxis: Transnational Pedagogies and Activism illustrates the productive potential of critical arts pedagogies in the ongoing work of decolonization by engaging art, activism, and transnational feminisms.Offering contributions from scholars, educators, artists, and activists from varied disciplines, the volume highlights how arts can reveal intersectional forms of oppression, inform critical understandings, and rebuild transnational solidarities across geopolitical borders. The contributors present forms of inquiry, creative writing, art, and reflection that grapple with issues of colonialism, racism, and epistemological violence to illustrate the power of decolonial arts pedagogies in formal and informal education.Using a range of multiple and intersectional critical lenses through which readers can examine ways in which transnational feminist theorizing and art pedagogy inform, shape, and help strategize activism in various spaces, it will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students, and practitioners with interests in arts education, the sociology of education, postcolonialism, and multicultural education.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Authentic Secondary Art Assessment
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.

Intellect Books Let's Talk about Critique: Reimagining Art and
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.

The habits of artists in their studios can help all of us who teach to hone our techniques in every classroom and can aid administrators to see possibilities to enrich our schools for the sake of learners and teachers alike.”- From the Foreword by David P. Nelson, president, Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt);""Starting young with studio thinking is a fabulous idea supported by this fine resource. After all, studio thinking thrives on art but applies to everything?habits of mind that help people to live their lives in thoughtful, curious, and creative ways.""- David Perkins, Harvard Graduate School of Education;“For experienced and novice teachers alike, for generalist teachers and for art teachers, Studio Thinking from the Start: The K–8 Art Educator’s Handbook is a needed addition to teacher resources for improving the quality of elementary art education. Focusing not on materials or project recipes, but on the language and interactions of teachers and students, this book supports teachers in deepening conversations about form and meaning by modeling simple elegant questions and exchanges that engage students as serious makers who are pursuing their own creative research agendas.”- Olivia Gude, School of the Art Institute of Chicago

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Children and Pictures
Book SynopsisIn Children and Pictures, Richard P. Jolley critiques both the historical and contemporary studies conducted in the field of children's making and understanding of pictures. Some highlights of Children and Pictures are: What develops, and why, in children's representational and expressive drawing, both in typical, atypical, and cross-cultural populations. The developing relationship between production and comprehension of pictures. Children's understanding of pictures as symbolic representations. Practical and applied uses of drawings, particularly in clinical and legal settings. Diverse educational practices of teaching drawing across the world. Presenting up-to-date research and pointing towards future topics of study, Children and Pictures brings the study of children's drawings into mainstream child development studies. This is an edifying resource for students, researchers, practitioners, parenTrade Review"This book is academic in the good sense of the word: it contains thorough introductions to relevant theories and balanced overviews of empirical data that support or contradict these theories." (International Journal of Education through Art, 1 May 2011) "Children's drawing is a fascinating topic with a wide-ranging appeal, and this well-written and well-informed book will be very useful to students and researchers of child development and art education, as well as being accessible to the general reader. In ten clearly laid out chapters Richard Jolley gives an up-to-date overview of some of the debates in the field, an overview amply supported by research findings. In a further and final chapter he suggests “future directions” which, I'm sure, will provide food for thought for many of the up-and-coming generation of researchers." –Dr Maureen Cox, Emeritus Reader, Department of Psychology, University of York "A long time in the making, this book was well worth waiting for. It is unusual in the range of topics it covers and the importance it accords to the field. It can serve both as an introduction for new readers and as a resource for established researchers, which is extraordinarily hard to bring off. This is because the author is clearly conducting a dialogue with the reader throughout, in a gracefully styled stream of writing." –Norman Freeman, Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Fellow, Cognitive Development, University of Bristol "Psychologist Richard Jolley takes the reader on a fascinating journey, using children’s drawings and their understanding of pictures as a way to understand children’s minds. This book will enlighten researchers, clinicians, educators, and parents – anyone who wants to understand why children draw in the sometimes odd, almost always charming, way that they do." –Ellen Winner, Professor of Psychology, Boston College, and Senior Research Associate, Project Zero, Harvard UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgments.

Penguin Young Readers Group Where Is the Parthenon
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!

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Collaboration in Design Education
Book SynopsisThe book is a comprehensive guide for students and practitioners who want to take a collaborative approach in their design practice. 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.
