More Than Pumpkins in October: Visual Literacy in the 21st Century. A School Board Member's Guide to Enhancing Student Achievement through Art Education.

This publication is written for school board members, who face decisions that will restructure how children learn. A comprehensive art education program can enhance the quality of children's education and help achieve excellence in a school system. This document: (1) presents the philosophy underlying comprehensive visual arts education programs; (2) details suggestions on how to put an effective K-12 art education program in place; (3) provides case studies of ways effective programs are being implemented; and (4) lists resources useful in creating a program. A step-by-step process for building a substantive art program is given. Accompanying the document is a 15 minute videotape, "Art for Life," that advocates art education. (MM)
