Art Criticism and Education completes the Disciplines in Art Education series. In the first section, Theodore Wolff deals with the role of the art critic in education. He gives a practical overview of how the principles and practices of art criticism can be applied to the teaching of art (k-12). In the second, George Geahigan begins with an historical overview of art criticism in education literature and provides a conceptualized approach to critical inquiry, asserting that the most effective form of that inquiry is the pursuit of meaning in works of art. A rare combination of the practical and theoretical, Art Criticism and Education will be an invaluable aid to anyone involved in art education.
