Download or read book Developing Visual Arts Education in the United States written by Mary Ann Stankiewicz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Massachusetts Normal Art School became the alma mater par excellence for generations of art educators, designers, and artists. The founding myth of American art education is the story of Walter Smith, the school’s first principal. This historical case study argues that Smith’s students formed the professional network to disperse art education across the United States, establishing college art departments and supervising school art for industrial cities. As administrative progressives they created institutions and set norms for the growing field of art education. Nineteenth-century artists argued that anyone could learn to draw; by the 1920s, every child was an artist whose creativity waited to be awakened. Arguments for systematic art instruction under careful direction gave way to charismatic artist-teachers who sought to release artistic spirits. The task for art education had been redefined in terms of living the good life within a consumer culture of work and leisure.

Download or read book In the Eye of the Storm written by Frances Kathryn Pohl and published by Pomegranate Communications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SCHILLER COLLECTION OF SOCIAL COMMENTARY ART is unequaled in America. Cohesive in theme and monumental in scope, it consists of over five hundred works that reflect the tumultuous eras that rocked our nation's history between 1930 and 1970: the Great Depression, World War II, McCarthyism, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Vietnam War.In The Eye of the Storm highlights seventy-one of the paintings, drawings, and prints collected by Philip J. and Suzanne Schiller over the past twenty years. The works in this volume embrace an astounding range of styles and subject matter. These range from social realism to magic realism and social surrealism by such masters as Ben Shahn, Philip Evergood, Jack Levine, Moses Soyer, Jacob Lawrence, Ivan Albright, Romare Bearden, Jared French, George Grosz, Rockwell Kent, Peter Saul and George Tooker, among others. As this century draws to a close, these images provoke discussion about our nation's recent past and suggest lessons on how to shape its future. Not a narrowly focused study of "political art," here the reach of social commentary is broad and open. Going beyond the immediate issues of the day, this four-decade overview reveals a unique perspective on both art and history in modern America.Frances K. Pohl examines the works in a chronological context, interweaving eloquent social history with incisive aesthetic criticism. Philip J. Schiller's introduction offers insight into the mind of a knowledgeable collector deeply committed to the work's humanist theme. Andrea Swanson Honoré's carefully researched biographies of the artists enhance this edition's value as an important scholarly reference.An exhibition organized by the American Federation of Arts featuring sixty-two of the works from the Schiller collection, selected by Ms. Honoré, begins touring the United States in October 1995.
