The Role of the Arts in Cognition and Curriculum.
Eisner, Elliot W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v63 n1 p48-52 Sep 1981

This article argues that if cognition is a matter of becoming aware, of perceiving, then the senses and the arts play a crucial role in providing essential resources for education. (Author/WD)
