Understanding art education

This practical guide puts Art and Design into perspective and shows teachers and student-teachers how to make the subject accessible and interesting to their pupils. Divided into three parts, the book examines the theory and practiceof teaching Art and Design: part one explores how teachers can frame their own knowledge for classroom practice; part two focuses on Art and Design in the classroom and curriculum development as well as aspects of pedagogy and lessondesign, evaluation and assessment; and part three focuses on the teachers themselves and how they can view and work on professional development within their own subject area. Written by authors who are specialists in this area, this book is the first of its kind that tries to guide the intellectually alive teacher into the nature of the subject in its entirety, and how to think about Art and Design when preparing to teach.
