Focusing on music, drama, and visual arts and crafts, the editors and contributors examine the impact these individuals had on developing innovative approaches to these subject areas and how they drew on perspectives that emphasised the need for children’s self-expression. The chapters offer an analysis of the pioneers’ beliefs and values, with a particular emphasis on their ideological positions about identity, nation, and what constituted ‘good taste’. The book further examines how their ideas were disseminated, in so doing interrogating the concept of ‘influence’ in educational theory and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e​Introduction: Themes in Arts Education, 1890–1950Part I Music\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Cecil Sharp (1859–1924): Advocate for Folk Song and Folk Dance Education in Schools and the CommunityChapter 2: Stewart Macpherson (1865–1941): The Rise of the Musical Appreciation Movement in BritainChapter 3: Walter Carroll (1869–1955): Setting the Tone for Local Education Authority AdvisersPart II Drama\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Alice Gomme (1853–1938): Conserving a Nation Through Children’s GamesChapter 5: Harriet Finlay-Johnson (1871–1956): The Drama of EducationPart III Visual Art\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Henry Caldwell Cook (1886–1939): Play, Performance and the PerseChapter 7: Harry Peach (1874–1936): The Materiality of Arts and Crafts EducationChapter 8: Marion Richardson (1892–1946): When Idea and Expression are OneChapter 9: Seonaid Robertson (1912–2008): The Transformation of ‘Chaotic Experience’ Through Arts EducationConclusion: Arts Education Today","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043562258775,"sku":"9783030757403","price":104.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030757403.jpg?v=1750958699","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/unfolding-creativity-british-pioneers-in-arts-education-from-1890-to-1950-9783030757403","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
