In this issue, the authors take us
"back to school" in a number of ways.
That is, I see this collection of articles as inspiration to revisit our thinking? to go back to school?about several
issues, topics, conventions, contexts,
techniques, and theories in our field.
David Darts describes one way
to move sbciocultural issues and
concepts closer to the center of
the high school curriculum. Angela Eckhoff and Steven Guberman make a case for visual culture as an entry
into art history and art criticism discussions with elementary students.
Rebecca Gajda and Dorinne Dorfman describe the conception and ongoing success of an arts-based academy
within an existing high school and how it supports and encourages student learning, engagement, and
empowerment. Nancy Lampert reviews inquiry-based instructional
techniques designed to enhance critical thinking and offers ways to
encourage higher order thinking in art students. Eliza Pitri addresses possibili ties for conducting action research
in art education based on situated
learning, constructivist theory and
Reggio Emilia practice. Deborah K?ster helps us back to theories of multicultural education and implica tions for current practice in art educa
tion. In the Instructional Resources,
Lisa Vihos offers ideas about works of art based on bathrooms as rich sources of inspiration.
Correction
In the July 2006 issue of Art Education
(Volume 59, No. 4), on p. 22, the amount of a grant provided by "BARN AGAIN," affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, was incorrect and should be $1,000.00.
There is always so much to do to
prepare for the first day of school. I believe that the variety of concerns,
recommendations, and perspectives on art education offered in this issue reflects the vast array possibilities that accompany students, teachers,
and administrators as they return to
school each fall.
So, what are your plans for this school year? Are you ready to go "back to school"?
