Book Synopsis Public Art for Public Schools by : Michele Cohen
Download or read book Public Art for Public Schools written by Michele Cohen and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a good schoolhouse? Beyond the basics of classrooms and library, a good school inspires students and teachers and enhances the learning environment through its architecture and its art. Nowhere is this principle better demonstrated than in the New York City school system, the largest in the United States, where a collection of more than 1,500 artworks has been assembled over nearly 150 years. This extraordinarily diverse group ranges from stained glass by Tiffany Studios to vast mural cycles commissioned by the WPA to modern and contemporary works by Hans Hofmann, Ben Shahn, Romare Bearden, Faith Ringgold, and Vito Acconci. Education has been a priority for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, and school construction and public art have expanded dramatically under his leadership. New school buildings have been commissioned from noted architects including Polshek Partnership, Pei Cobb Freed, and Arquitectonica, with installations by Tony Oursler, Sarah Morris, and James Casebere. Public Art for Public Schools provides a comprehensive and insightful account of the history and future of this program, lavishly illustrated with archival images from the Department of Education and handsome new photographs by the noted architectural photographer Stan Ries, which were specially commissioned for this publication.

Download or read book Arts for Change written by Beverly Naidus and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arts for Change presents strategies and theory for teaching socially engaged art with an historical and contemporary overview of the field. The book features interviews with over thirty maverick artists/faculty from colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, whose pedagogy is drawn from and informs activist arts practice. The issues these teaching artists address are provocative and diverse. Some came to this work through personal healing from injustice and trauma or by witnessing oppressions that became intolerable. Many have taught for decades, deeply influenced by social movements of the 1960s and 1970s, yet because the work is controversial, tenured positions are rare.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed exploration of how public education can cultivate innovators—with a foreword by Russlynn Ali, a leading advocate for remaking schools Dime-a-dozen ideas for reforming education seem to be everywhere these days but few actually transform the everyday experience of the 50-million-plus students who are regularly subjected to traditional lecturing, note-taking, and rote learning—often with dismal results. Enter Deeper Learning, "a fast read [that] will interest educators who want to produce self-motivated, passionate learners" (Library Journal).

This paperback edition includes a new foreword by renowned education advocate Russlynn Ali and will empower and inspire educators everywhere to address the need for schools to be genuinely innovative.

It is a must-read for those keen to develop research-informed, integrated, arts-rich learning and teaching strategies while also exploring each discipline. Alongside the ‘four Cs’ (critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity) the authors propose four additional ‘Cs’: curiosity, compassion, connection and courage as much-needed 21st century capabilities. The book speaks to the current debates on STEAM vs. STEM education, and provides an important framework for preservice and experienced classroom teachers, including arts specialists.
Book Synopsis Transforming Ideas for Teaching and Learning the Arts by : Charles L. Gary
Download or read book Transforming Ideas for Teaching and Learning the Arts written by Charles L. Gary and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet is designed to give teachers some of the latest ideas about how arts principles and concepts can best be understood, taught, and used in the classroom to improve instruction in the arts and other disciplines. Considering the stance of the U.S. Department of Education, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the Goals 2000 Arts Education Partnership, and the Coalition for Education in the Arts, and the increasing support from research about the value of the arts, the 1990's seems a time of real opportunity. While there are still issues being discussed, the state-of-the-art in arts education may soon properly reflect the importance of this aspect of education to civilization. The booklet's major ideas, organized into one page sections, include the following: (1) make certain all students have daily arts experiences; (2) the arts offer the opportunity to practice decision making; (3) students need to know the elements of the various arts and need to develop the vocabularies with which to discuss them; (4) experiences in the arts provide opportunities for students to learn as much about themselves as they do about the subject matter; (5) provide students with opportunities to develop a craft while exploring originality and analytical thinking; (6) lead students to new ways of solving problems through unique challenges in the arts, both mental and physical; (7) employ modern technology to encourage imaginative use of artistic material; (8) arts specialists are educators who are also skilled in at least one arts discipline; (9) enriching the experiences of all children as they study literature, history, geography, foreign languages, math, or science is a gift arts specialists offer the school; and (10) a major asset of the arts in education is to make schools a more engaging learning environment. In discussing the U.S. Department of Education's support for the arts, Secretary of Education, Richard W. Riley said, "The arts in all their distinct forms define, in many ways, those qualities that are at the heart of education reform in the 1990s--creativity, perseverance, a sense of standards, and above all, a striving for excellence." Contains 53 notes, an 11-item suggested reading list, and a 38-item selected resources list. (CB)
Book Synopsis Developing Visual Arts Education in the United States by : Mary Ann Stankiewicz
Download or read book Developing Visual Arts Education in the United States written by Mary Ann Stankiewicz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Massachusetts Normal Art School became the alma mater par excellence for generations of art educators, designers, and artists. The founding myth of American art education is the story of Walter Smith, the school’s first principal. This historical case study argues that Smith’s students formed the professional network to disperse art education across the United States, establishing college art departments and supervising school art for industrial cities. As administrative progressives they created institutions and set norms for the growing field of art education. Nineteenth-century artists argued that anyone could learn to draw; by the 1920s, every child was an artist whose creativity waited to be awakened. Arguments for systematic art instruction under careful direction gave way to charismatic artist-teachers who sought to release artistic spirits. The task for art education had been redefined in terms of living the good life within a consumer culture of work and leisure.

Book Synopsis Standing Still Is Not an Option by : Christa Boske
Download or read book Standing Still Is Not an Option written by Christa Boske and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures the experiences of children in U.S. public schools and how they utilize artmaking to disrupt injustices they face. These first-time authors, who represent school children, parents, teachers, and community leaders, focus on artmaking for social change. Their first-tellings provide thought-provoking insights regarding the impact of artmaking on their capacity to promote social justice-oriented work in K-12 school communities. As the U.S. continues to experience significant demographic shifts, including increases of homeless children, children identified with learning differences, thousands of refugees and immigrants, children living in poverty, children in foster care, and increasing numbers of Children of Color, those who work in schools will need to know how to address disparities facing these underserved communities. These U.S. demographic shifts and issues facing underserved populations provide opportunities for children, teachers, families, and school leaders to deepen their understanding regarding their experiences within their communities and K-12 schools as well as ways to interrupt oppressive practices and policies they face every day through art as social action. Authors call upon decision-makers who serve children from disenfranchised populations to utilize artmaking to create equal access for children to explore social justice, equity, reflective practices, and promote authentic social action and change through artmaking. Authors reflect on this artmaking process as a catalyst for increasing consciousness, creating imaginative possibilities, and facilitating meaningful change in schools. Authors urge readers to create equal access art spaces to build bridges among schools, families, and communities. Together, they contend that artmaking promotes courageous conversations and encourages the exploration of what it means to live this significant work. Praise for Standing Still Is Not an Option Standing Still Is Not an Option is a non-traditional leadership text, not just in words, but in deeds. It took courage for student, first-authors to write/perform this text, and it takes courage for us as educators to read it because our youth want us to speak up more and act differently. To quote one student-first –author:“It was all new to me. I never did anything like this before. If I could go back in time, I would tell the principals that they need to care about all of the kids, not just the favorites. If they could actually take the time and talk to me, maybe you would actually care because you would get to know me. I think they would learn I have a lot on my plate and they need to know about these things. It would have really helped me if they would have listened to me, talked to me, and actually showed me they care. If a principal would have shown me they cared, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Isn’t it past time that teachers and administrators learned to become their art and let their art remake them? Ira Bogotch Professor, Florida Atlantic University This book dares to explore the multi-faceted nature of voice and its importance in narrating the experiences that have contoured the lives of persons who are so often conditioned, socialized and placed in a voiceless space by educational institutions. The use of artmaking to articulate hopes and fears, in a non-judgmental space that calls for a socially just education, shifts the focus from traditional notions of narrative to the creative power of expression through art. This work breaks new ground in pushing educational power brokers to come to grips with the multiple ways asymmetric power relations are propagated through traditional structures and how the power of creativity can respond to and disrupt these structures. Michael Dantley Dean Professor, Miami of Ohio University Christa Boske’s edited volume provides an extraordinary service to educational leaders, policy makers, and those who care about the education stakeholders. Through the chapters in this book, Boske and her authors demonstrate the power of artistic storytelling and representation to the development and empowerment of young minds. For those who care about the education of children and youth this is an essential read. Michelle Young Professor, University of Virginia former Executive Director of the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA)
