Is What You See What You Get? A Postmodern Approach to Understanding Works of Art.
Wolcott, Anne
Studies in Art Education, v37 n2 p69-79 Win 1996
Criticizes the traditional approach to art education that emphasizes formal properties such as line, color, and shape. Proposes that teachers develop student abilities to go beyond the visual level of artworks and gain access to the complexity of meanings that art possesses. Includes contemporary art examples and corresponding analyses. (MJP)
