Download or read book A History of Disability and Art Education written by Claire Penketh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on recent theoretical frameworks from critical disability studies and art education including normalcy, ableism, disability and Crip theory, this book offers an analysis of the conceptualisation of ability in art education and its relationship with disability. Drawing on the work of Cizek and Lowenfeld in Austria, Ruskin and Richardson in England and Dewey and Eisner in the United States, it critically examines the influence of ideas such as the dominance of vision and visuality; the emergence of psychological perspectives; the Child Art Movement; the implications of assessment regimes; and the relevance of art education as a critical social practice on the production of disability. Offering a sustained inquiry into the differential values attributed to learners and their work and the implications of this for framing our understanding of disability in art education, this book shows that although art educators have frequently advocated for the universal appeal and importance of art education, they have done so within historical contexts that have produced and determined problematic ideas regarding disability. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, art in education, art history and education studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to feature interdisciplinary art history and disability studies. Moving away from the medical model of disability that is often scrutinized in art history, the book considers the social model and representations of disabled figures. Topics addressed include visible versus invisible impairments; scientific, anthropological, and vernacular images of disability; and the implications of looking/staring versus gazing. Disability and Art History explores ways in which art responds to, envisions, and at times stereotypes and pathologizes disability, and aims to contextualize disability historically, as well as in terms of medicine, literature, and visual culture.

Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability written by Keri Watson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability explores disability in visual culture to uncover the ways in which bodily and cognitive differences are articulated physically and theoretically, and to demonstrate the ways in which disability is culturally constructed. This companion is organized thematically and includes artists from across historical periods and cultures in order to demonstrate the ways in which disability is historically and culturally contingent. The book engages with questions such as how are people with disabilities represented in art; how are notions of disability articulated in relation to ideas of normality, hybridity, and anomaly; and how do artists use visual culture to affirm or subvert notions of the normative body. Contributors consider the changing role of disability in visual culture, the place of representations in society, and the ways in which disability studies engages with and critiques intersectional notions of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. This book will be particularly useful for scholars in art history, disability studies, visual culture, and museum studies"--

Download or read book Disability and Art History written by Ann Millett-Gallant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to feature interdisciplinary art history and disability studies scholarship. Art historians have traditionally written about images of figures with impairments and artworks by disabled artists, without integrating disability studies scholarship, while many disability studies scholars discuss works of art, but do not necessarily incorporate art historical research and methodology. The chapters in this volume emphasize a shift away from the medical model of disability that is often scrutinized in art history by considering the social model and representations of disabled figures from a range of styles and periods, mostly from the twentieth century. Topics addressed include visible versus invisible impairments; scientific, anthropological, and vernacular images of disability; and the theories and implications of looking/staring versus gazing. They also explore ways in which art responds to, envisions, and at times stereotypes and pathologizes disability. The insights offered in this book contextualize understanding of disability historically, as well as in terms of medicine, literature, and visual culture.
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Race and the Arts in Education written by Amelia M. Kraehe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palgrave Handbook of Race and the Arts in Education is the first edited volume to examine how race operates in and through the arts in education. Until now, no single source has brought together such an expansive and interdisciplinary collection in exploration of the ways in which music, visual art, theater, dance, and popular culture intertwine with racist ideologies and race-making. Drawing on Critical Race Theory, contributing authors bring an international perspective to questions of racism and anti-racist interventions in the arts in education. The book’s introduction provides a guiding framework for understanding the arts as white property in schools, museums, and informal education spaces. Each section is organized thematically around historical, discursive, empirical, and personal dimensions of the arts in education. This handbook is essential reading for students, educators, artists, and researchers across the fields of visual and performing arts education, educational foundations, multicultural education, and curriculum and instruction.
Download or read book Changing Social Attitudes Toward Disability written by David Bolt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst legislation may have progressed internationally and nationally for disabled people, barriers continue to exist, of which one of the most pervasive and ingrained is attitudinal. Social attitudes are often rooted in a lack of knowledge and are perpetuated through erroneous stereotypes, and ultimately these legal and policy changes are ineffectual without a corresponding attitudinal change. This unique book provides a much needed, multifaceted exploration of changing social attitudes toward disability. Adopting a tripartite approach to examining disability, the book looks at historical, cultural, and education studies, broadly conceived, in order to provide a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to the documentation and endorsement of changing social attitudes toward disability. Written by a selection of established and emerging scholars in the field, the book aims to break down some of the unhelpful boundaries between disciplines so that disability is recognised as an issue for all of us across all aspects of society, and to encourage readers to recognise disability in all its forms and within all its contexts. This truly multidimensional approach to changing social attitudes will be important reading for students and researchers of disability from education, cultural and disability studies, and all those interested in the questions and issues surrounding attitudes toward disability.

Download or read book Disability Studies and Critical Pedagogy written by Caitlin Ostrow and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching students with disabilities is the subject of extensive research in the education field. However, curriculum inviting all students to consider the lived experiences of people with disabilities is scarce. Existing approaches to promoting disability awareness often involve simulation exercises, in which students wear blindfolds or use wheelchairs to temporarily pretend to have a disability. These exercises call attention to physical rather than environmental disabling conditions and inspire pity for the disability community, hindering the pursuit of social justice. With nearly 20 percent of Americans living with a disability, it is imperative that K-12 educators and their students call into question widespread assumptions and beliefs about disability. Art educators can do so by designing curriculum inspired by disability artists. These artists live with disabilities and create artwork that explores issues surrounding disability. I investigated the following questions through action research: What occurs when students consider attitudes toward disability through a critical study of disability artists' work? How can epistemological shifts in students' attitudes toward disability be interpreted in the context of art education? What tensions and challenges arise for the teacher who uses art as a means to open up critical conversations with students about disability? To gain insight into these questions, I invited sixth graders to challenge stereotypes about disability through comic strips. My research site was a public middle school in a predominantly white, upper middle class northern suburb of Chicago. After brainstorming various stereotypes and sharing stories about people with disabilities in their lives, students examined artwork by disability artists including John and Claire Lytle, authors of the "dizABLED" comic strip, and created their own comic strips intended to dispel disability stereotypes. Students with and without disabilities participated in this project. The data I collected consisted of video recordings of class discussions, students' artwork and written assignments, and my daily written reflections. Many students cleverly disproved a variety of stereotypes related to disability with their comics. Not only did they contemplate attitudes toward disability through their participation in this project, they also witnessed that art has the power to promote positive social change. As their teacher, I learned how to challenge students to reach their potential and how to ensure that students with disabilities could fully and comfortably participate. I recommend that other educators who wish to transform prevailing attitudes toward disability teach similar lessons that advance disability awareness without using simulation exercises.
