Sensation, Vision, Perception, and Human Development. Cognition and Learning. Cognition in Art. Conceptual Behaviors in Art. The Conceptual Curriculum. Art Learning and Its Assessment. Summary and Conclusions.Reviews""Mind 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 Mind in Art contains charts, graphs, diagrams, and paintings that illustrate Dorn's points.
