Contemporary Issues in Art Educationby Peg Speirs
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: Contemporary Issues in Art Education by Yvonne Gaudelius and Peg Speirs is a collection of essays that are framed around social issues, art, and teaching. Using an issues-based approach, the authors provide a valuable resource for teaching issues-based content, especially as these issues are explored through contemporary art and visual culture in the classroom. The authors present ideas for educators at all levels who want to incorporate an issues-based approach to teaching. This book combines theoretical perspectives with tangible and practical strategies for generating content and pedagogical approaches. The book, while primarily written for pre-service elementary teachers, will prove useful to general classroom teachers and art educators at all levels, whether they are teaching in the K-12 or the college classroom. The authors in this book are highly respected within the field of art education. They provide thoughtful approaches to a realm of complex ideas encompassing artistic, social, political, and educational issues. Readers will develop and understanding of a variety of ways to teach about such issues in the classroom, how to draw upon the contemporary artworld, and a sense of the critical frameworks within which we need to explore such issues. Book News Annotation:Twenty-nine contributions from art educators discuss social issues,
contemporary art, and teaching in the elementary classroom. The
essays are arranged into sections on theoretical perspectives,
creating issues based curricula, and pedagogical strategies. A
sampling of topics includes issues of the body in contemporary art,
elementary instruction through postmodern art, and the art museum as
an integrated learning environment.
