Salazar is drawing from observational research and survey data in order to propose her Five Pedagogical Ideals. Salazar suggests that potent theories might be extracted from current practices, informing theories that are yet-to-be. In this article, Salazar has attempted to summarize a significant amount of theory and practice so that readers, especially those who teach studio art to college students, might be better able to reflect on and articulate the value of teaching and learning in studio art. Salazar hopes to inspire college studio art instructors to reflect on their teaching practice, to articulate student learning outcomes increasingly demanded by postsecondary institutions, and to enter the lively dialogue already taking place among K-12 art education scholars.
