  This volume seeks to build a bridge between theoretical and practical issues in art education. The theoretical areas consider such big questions as: why teach art?; and how does art relate to other subjects? The practical areas draw out the implications of the answers given to the theoretical questions. Each chapter sheds new light on questions such as why is teaching and learning in art worthwhile? while examining different topics in art education from a number of perspectives. The reader will also be informed as to the implications for classroom practice.

  A much improved, second edition of this fascinating collection of essays on teaching art in secondary schools. It includes a new chapter on visual culture as well as extensive material on the changes that have occurred in this area since 2000. What kind of art would we like school and college students to produce? What kind of art do we want them to engage with? What is the process of this engagement? How should we organize the processes? By asking fundamental questions such as these, Richard Hickman and his team of contributors illustrate the new possibilities for art education in the twenty-first century and draw out the implications for classroom practice - making Art Education 11-18 the definitive guide to the subject in the postmodern era.
