Teaching art Aesthetically: Aligning Instructional Means With Aesthetic Ends (in English)
Layman H. Jones Jr.
Synopsis "Teaching art Aesthetically: Aligning Instructional Means With Aesthetic Ends (in English)"
The Author demystifies conflicting theories about art and teaching by asking not, “Which theory is best?” but “Which theory is best for what?” His means-ends approach enables art teachers to select the best instructional practices for different studio goals. Highlights of the book include the following: • Understanding the complexity of the mental process of making art, as revealed by five different aesthetic theories. • Using art history, criticism, and aesthetics to enrich studio rather than simply taking time from already too-short art classes. • Defining assignments so that assessing student artwork is easier and more objective. • Avoiding disruptions and focusing students on the discipline of art. • Identifying research questions with immediate implications for instruction. • Moving beyond what is typical in art rooms and developing extraordinary art programs.
