OverviewThis volume includes a discussion and history of a number of important theories in psychology, philosophy and aesthetics. The impact these theories have had on one another, on the education of children, and on the field of art education are examined. This book philosophically supports the viewpoint that art teachers need to become the principal change agents in art curriculum reform. To do so, these educators must be clear about what they want their students to know and be able to do, understand how learning in art effects students' cognitive understandings in other areas of the curriculum, and know how they can make their goals clear to students, parents and school administrators. The methodology used acquaints readers with some of the learning situations in which they will be expected to function, offers them various teaching and learning alternatives, and recommends some useful solutions for art curriculum development, student learning and assessment. This volume is designed to assist art educators in meeting the challenges of teaching the Goals 2000 curriculum and evaluation reform effort by acquainting them with both National Art Standards and with the assessment processes needed in order for them to become accountable.

Table of ContentsReviewsMind in Art contains charts, graphs, diagrams, and paintings that illustrate Dorn's points. He also includes summaries, references, key terms, and study questions at the end of each chapter. These structural devices make it easy to focus on arenas of interest--and turn the book into meat and potatoes for anyone who values art education as an essential part of developing the whole child. -American School Board Journal Dorn has performed a great service for art teachers who would like to understand the varied theories that deal with thinking and knowing in and through art. More than a summary of thought about artistic cognition, Dorn's book spells out the curricular and pedagogical implications of the material he discusses. Because he is so knowledgeable, and because his text is so clearly written, it will appeal to everyone who cares about the intellectual as well as the practical and aesthetic contributions of art to education. This book should become a classic. -Edmund B. Feldman Alumni Foundation Distinguished Professor of Art Emeritus Destined to become one of the major pieces of art education thinking in this era....Charles Dorn's knowledge of a broad range of relevant fields of research--including brain theory, psychology, learning theory, aesthetics, educational philosophy, developmental theory--is phenomenal and provides the strongest foundation for his very challenging thoughts about what art education needs to be....This book will not provide any 'cookbook' art lessons but it does provide a rich theoretical context (the 'conceptual art curriculum') for making very practical decisions about what should be taught in classrooms at all levels....All those in leadership roles in art education will need a source that is well grounded in research and a broad view of education. This book represents original thinking close enough to the mainstream that it is likely to become the major work everyone must relate their own position to. -John A. Stinespring Texas Tech University A significant advance in thinking in the field of art education....Not only is Dorn's scholarship solid and quite remarkable, but he writes with a clear knowledge of how politics and theories have influenced conceptions of art education across decades....The field badly needs this book to solve some of its most persistent problems. -Karen Lee Carroll Maryland Institute, College of Art Author InformationCharles M.
