Interesting for fresh perspectives

This book is good for a fresh perspective on teaching art education. The main crux of the book is to encourage teachers to connect their students' work with everything surrounding them. This book comes complete with full explanations about everything introduced, which is very helpful for those of us who feel lost. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in teaching art or those who are doing so already. This book can change your philosophy of education.

Excellent criteria to study contemporary art issues in school programs

This textbook addresses contemporary art issues outside the traditional formal aesthetics. It is a wonderful resource for lesson planning, and additional reading material.
