Why Do We Teach Art Today? Conceptions of Art Education and Their Justification.
Siegesmund, Richard
Studies in Art Education, v39 n3 p197-214 Spr 1998
Traces how broad, historical, conceptual frameworks established by Arthur Efland continue to be useful in categorizing contemporary arguments on the form of art education. Contends that many popular justifications for art education lack a solid epistemological rationale. Advocates an approach to art education as a study of reasoned perception. (DSK)
