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.
