Arts and Critical Thinking in American Education

by Ivan Olsen

The arts are truly adventures of the mind. Yet, except for a fortunate but relatively small number, even the more educated and sophisticated segments of U.S. society are hardly able to relate to the arts. This book stresses that the arts are cognitive and affective essentials in human development. Of special interest are the treatments of examples of artwork in defining and explaining various forms of visual and auditory imagery.
