The New Eclecticism / or Art is Anything You Can Get Away With.
Dorn, Charles M.
Art Education, v31 n8 p6-9 Dec 1978
The author examines the tenets, historical antecedents, and implications of the current art education theory of "planned eclecticism," which encourages relatively free curriculum content choices, subject only to the psychosocial context of the school. He questions the theory's dependence on sociological theories and scientific methodologies for directing art education. (SJL)
