Beskrivning
An Uneasy Guest in the Schoolhouse recounts how art education has been conceptualized, taught, and advocated for in the United States in the face of its persistent marginalization in the education system. Tracing various rationales offered from the 19th century onward, Winner argues that art education has failed to be justified as a good in and of itself--and this failure has affected both the status of visual art education in our schools and the quality of its teaching.Winner's comprehensive book maps recurrent pendulum swings between "traditional" and "progressive" approaches to art education in the United States, supplemented by her firsthand experiences observing art teaching in schools in China and Italy. Despite this problematic and uncertain past, 21st century art education in the United States and abroad has exploded with a wealth of new ideas aligned with the progressivism of the early 20th century and informed by the practices of contemporary art. As Winner details, an understanding of the history of art education, along with a focus on current challenges and opportunities, is essential for arts researchers, educators, and advocates, as well as anyone in the general public who cares about quality education in the 21st century.

Recensioner i media

What Uneasy Guest does is lay out, chronologically, how art education has progressed in the United States, beginning with 19th century art classes as a way to encourage "moral and social utility" in young students and moving through progressivism in the 1940s, the quick failed move into disciplined based art education in the 1960s, extreme utilitarianism of the 1980s and 1990s (where we still hear echoes strongly today), and into possible futures for the arts in schools. She contrasts authentic art goals versus subservient arts integration and asks whether art class is a sanctuary or whether it is an integrated part of a whole educational system.
