Highlights of the book include the following: -Understanding the complexity of the mental process of making art, as revealed by five different aesthetic theories. -Using art history, criticism, and aesthetics to enrich studio rather than simply taking time from already too-short art classes. -Defining assignments so that assessing student artwork is easier and more objective. -Avoiding disruptions and focusing students on the discipline of art. -Identifying research questions with immediate implications for instruction. -Moving beyond what is typical in art rooms and developing extraordinary art programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45551099707543,"sku":"9781980627296","price":929.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781980627296.webp?v=1767132063","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/teaching-art-aesthetically-aligning-instructional-means-with-aesthetic-ends-9781980627296","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
