Description
by
Layman H. Jones Jr (Author)
The author shares a collection of allegorical stories that will cause readers to look at notions about teaching art from a fresh perspective-a perspective that will challenge taken-for-granted assumptions that have become imbedded in art programs and resist change, even though there is need for change. While the stories are fiction, they raise very real questions about how we should teach art. A sampling of the characters in the stories: -An Art Teacher dreams that he is a knight on a quest to rescue real art. -A 21st Century student is apprenticed to a 14th Century master. -An Art Teacher resembling a Greek Philosopher challenges ideas about assessment. -A Superintendent who was once a winning football coach imposes athletic standards of accountability on the art program.
