What to read after Art Education and Human Development?

Suggested paths that policy and practices should take in the realm of art education are made based on a review of the research done in several areas including specific knowledge about human development and human development from an artistic perspective. It is possible and desirable to devise curricula that are consistent with the values espoused in a culture and are developmentally appropriate and that also address the significant differences found among individuals. An examination of experiments in art education reveals the necessity of three factors particularly important to effective learning: viable curricular materials, excellent teacher training, and suitable modes of assessment. A lengthy list of references concludes the volume. (DB)
