Voices Of Women: Telling The Truth Through Art Making, Alice Pennisi
Voices Of Women: Telling The Truth Through Art Making, Alice Pennisi
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
On Wednesdays, when the last period of the school day is finished, the students trickle out of room 412 of Burnham High School and the young women enter who have been waiting outside. They immediately push all the desks to the side or back walls, leaving a large open space. Then each carries a chair toward the front of the room, creating a circle. Someone closes the door, and they begin to talk with one another. Thus begins a weekly meeting of Voices of Women (VOW), a group comprised mainly of high school girls who create collaborative artwork based on …
Multicultural Reservations, Hybrid Avenues: Reflecting On Culture In Art Education, David Gall
Multicultural Reservations, Hybrid Avenues: Reflecting On Culture In Art Education, David Gall
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This paper examines the role of hybridity in culture as it relates to art education. Curriculum strategies in art education are based essentially on pluralist premises. Such strategies recognize diversity, honor differences, and try to redress the inequitable Eurocentric models of the past. Nevertheless, even in their most critical forms they reproduce a scheme of culture that subtly confirms the established order of Modern hierarchies, and fail to capture the fluid, hybrid, and uneven character of culture. Margaret Archer's theories of culture, society, and change are among the most insightful to date. Taking them on board will ensure that our …
Performance Art As A Site For Learning: Queer Theory And Performance Studies In The Art Classroom, G. E. Washington
Performance Art As A Site For Learning: Queer Theory And Performance Studies In The Art Classroom, G. E. Washington
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Today, performance art is one of the most useful mediums for helping individuals see themselves differently. In this of "Out of sight" article, I explore the experience of participating in a student's performance art project. This work was a performance of crossing the road. Here, I discuss the inclusion of overtly queer articulations of personal experience within the art classroom. How can performance art construct learning experiences that engage a dynamic process of self-critique? How are classrooms organized differently when students become actively involved in the development of the art curriculum? And, how might a performative investigation of the sociality …
Out Of Cite, Out Of Mind: Social Justice And Art Education, Therese Quinn
Out Of Cite, Out Of Mind: Social Justice And Art Education, Therese Quinn
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
What's a little "Lifestyle Statement," between friends? When the friendships are contingent, based on our common status as colleagues in education, and we are charged with reviewing the teacher education programs of a Christian college that lies a few hundred miles to the west of my home city (all quotes about the school, which I will leave unnamed, are drawn from its website), it turns out to be the dealbreaker. The "Lifestyle Statement" is really an agreement or contract that staff, students, faculty members, and administrators are required to sign; it is posted on the college's website, linked to the …
Art Education And Disability: Re-Envisioning Educational Efficiency, Michelle Kraft
Art Education And Disability: Re-Envisioning Educational Efficiency, Michelle Kraft
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The value of efficiency has long been an ideal of educational policy in the United States (Guthrie, 1980). Where the education-and especially the art education-of students who are experiencing disabilities is concerned, traditional notions of efficiency (which are primarily rooted in economic standards of measure) may prove inflexible and inadequate in assessing educational outcomes. Guthrie (1980) equates efficiency in the schools with productivity. He explains that a number of factors may affect productivity, including availability of resources and students' environment and social background; likewise, students' varying (dis)abilities can be added to these factors. Indeed, traditional educational efficiency emphasizes autonomy and …
Grasping The Site/Sight/Cite Of The Image: A Lacanian Explication, Jan Jagodzinski
Grasping The Site/Sight/Cite Of The Image: A Lacanian Explication, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Reading images psychoanalytically from a Lacanian perspective has its challenges. The first task of this essay is to provide a way through what is often taken to be difficult and impenetrable theory, to explicate how the homology site/ sight/ cite can be understood in any act of critical perception. Its second task is to make distinctions between a psychoanalytic understanding of the subject as being 'split' or divided (as represented by the matheme '$,' Lacan's symbol for this form of subjectivity) when applied to art, as opposed to a naive realist subject of representation or a savvy poststructuralist (decentered) subject …

Editorial 2: Voice, Sight, Marginalization And Psychoanalytic Frames, Bill Wightman, Wanda Knight
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
All of the essays that make up the 26th edition of The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education reflect varied critical stances and approaches based on the homology site/ sight/ cite. In the spirit of the call for papers, a select number of authors chose to resolve their topics by addressing imagery, ideas, and practices that have been (or remain) out of site, sight, or cite. Others presented their topics more indirectly, thus leading the reader to shape or reshape the possibilities of context. And it's true; as we read these essays we are in a position to continually …
Editorial 1: Unpacking The Complexity Of The Homonym Site/Sight/Cite, Jan Jagodzinski
Editorial 1: Unpacking The Complexity Of The Homonym Site/Sight/Cite, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
We invite essays that explore visual regimes that have become established in our public schools or art departments. "Out of sight" might interrogate current ideals, territories, and debates concerning visual cultural education, since this was a distant horizon first discussed in JSTAE in 1980 and is now looming closer in mainstream art education. "Out of sight" might provide us with concerns over our televised, cinematic images that come at us through popular culture. For Lacan, sight was always a form of misrecognition, a form of "ignorance" as brilliantly explored by Magritte. We are all framed by images. So, we invite …
The Mystery Of Dr. Who? On A Road Less Traveled In Art Education, R. Michael Fisher, Barbara Bickel
The Mystery Of Dr. Who? On A Road Less Traveled In Art Education, R. Michael Fisher, Barbara Bickel
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This article is a 'fun' puzzle (and quiz) to solve. Please do not look to the next pages ahead, or the mystery of Dr. Who will be spoiled. We have recently discovered an intriguing art educator "out of the blue," whose work is largely out of cite/sight in most art education circles today. We want to bring Dr. Who's 'spirit' and work back to life and teach others some of what we have been learning in the past six months of intense research. The two metaphors we utilize (puzzle/ game and invoking a specter) are not without their sociopolitical power …
God, The Taboo Topic In Art Education, Terry Barrett, Valora Blackson, Vicki Daiello, Megan Goffos
God, The Taboo Topic In Art Education, Terry Barrett, Valora Blackson, Vicki Daiello, Megan Goffos
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
A serendipitous match of this journal's call for imagery "that lies outside art educators' accepted sphere"-"out of site/ sight/ cite" - and a (too) rare discussion among art educators talking about God within a secular classroom prompts this article. Concepts of God are generally withheld from the site of public school art classrooms in the United States; many teachers express wariness and fear of bringing artists' sights of God into their public school art rooms, although God and Gods are a frequent subject for artists through time and across place. Further, the topic of God is rarely cited in art …

Mars Rising: Icons Of Imperial Power, Miriam Cooley, Michelle Forrest, Linda Wheeldon
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Political and news media imagery saturate the culture of our classrooms as thoroughly as the popular culture imagery that deliberately targets children and youth. Media images such as those of US president G. W. Bush's visit to Canada that we discuss in this paper have become ubiquitous in our culture. In our view they constitute a primary mechanism through which the powerful political and economic forces exert an unrelenting threat on populations around the world. We (1 + 1 + 1)* enter this discussion from the point of view of Canadians, one of whom holds duel Canadian / US citizenship, …
Marginalia And Meaning: Off-Site/Sight/Cite Points Of Reference For Extended Trajectories In Learning, James Haywood Rolling Jr.
Marginalia And Meaning: Off-Site/Sight/Cite Points Of Reference For Extended Trajectories In Learning, James Haywood Rolling Jr.
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This study argues that drawing upon off-site/ sight/ cite points of reference affords a space for extended trajectories of learning and the cultivation of rich and atypical personal meaning unavailable within the terrain and climes of typical schooling frameworks. This paper continues the author's effort to establish the efficacy of a poststructural and poetic aesthetic in qualitative research writing.
Reading Objects: Collections As Sites And Systems Of Cultural Order, Alice Wexler
Reading Objects: Collections As Sites And Systems Of Cultural Order, Alice Wexler
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The political nature of making personal and cultural meaning of objects (both ordinary and aesthetic) is the site where transactions between our innate need for order and environmental influences, such as consumerism, are made. Valuing objects leads to the phenomena of collection, a subject that has been of interest in education and psychology since the nineteenth century. I ask how the private collections of children, and later adults, lead to systems of labeling, grouping, and display of art and artifacts in the art and natural history museum. In the age of the meta museum, how do educators question the museum's …
How To Draw A Heart: Teaching Art To Incarcerated Youth, Dennis Earl Fehr
How To Draw A Heart: Teaching Art To Incarcerated Youth, Dennis Earl Fehr
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This article traces the progress of a social theory-based university art education program in which undergraduate majors teach art to incarcerated youth. It addresses and goes beyond the editor's question, "What imagery lies 'outside' art educators' accepted sphere?" Not only is the imagery of these populations out of sight, but so are the sites of incarceration themselves, they exist not only outside the purview of the art education field, but of nearly every sector of society except the police. Even their families are often "out of sight." The readable, conversational format is a political choice. I offer an alternative to …
E(Raced) Bodies In And Out Of Sight/Cite/Site, Wanda B. Knight
E(Raced) Bodies In And Out Of Sight/Cite/Site, Wanda B. Knight
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In the social sphere there are numerous unmarked and unexamined categories. Heterosexuality, maleness, and middle classness are some of the apparent ones. However, Whiteness is perhaps the foremost unmarked and thus unexamined category in art education. And like other unmarked categories, White is assumed to be the human norm. Moreover, when Whiteness goes unexamined, racial privilege associated with Whiteness goes unacknowledged. In this article, I use the metaphor of sight or vision to examine race through a framework of bodies. My focus is, specifically, on the preparation of the authoritative White body of the art teacher to teach in classrooms …

Precinct, Gayle Gorman
Precinct, Gayle Gorman
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
"Precinct" was a site-specific art project/ performance/ exhibit put on by SITE: Buffalo Artist Collective, an organization devoted to a nontraditional approach to art emphasizing the experiential and the value of spectered memories contained in found objects and images. With the aid of the Buffalo Arts Commission, the abandoned police precinct (now destroyed) on Niagara Street on Buffalo's West side was open to the public, occupied and interacted with for a one-day event. This venue was specifically selected in order to bypass the gallerycentric mode of display which tends to dominate the world of art. By doing so, SITE made …
Educators' Perceptions Of Mobile Students And The Interventions That Assist Them, Timothy Bruce Bostic, Mary Angela Coleman
Educators' Perceptions Of Mobile Students And The Interventions That Assist Them, Timothy Bruce Bostic, Mary Angela Coleman
MERC Publications
In the educational climate of no Child Left Behind (NCLB), school personnel are searching for any means available to help all children succeed academically and meet state standards. School teachers and administrators in Virginia are no different. All schools and school districts, in Virginia and across the country, must demonstrate through adequate yearly progress (AYP) that children are achieving state standards of education. AYP requires that schools no only show that all students are achieving state standards but also that disaggregated groups of students (e.g. black students, speakers of English as a second language, special education students) are meeting standards …
Digital Equity In Education: A Multilevel Examination Of Differences In And Relationships Between Computer Access, Computer Use And State-Level Technology Policies, Jonathan D. Becker
Digital Equity In Education: A Multilevel Examination Of Differences In And Relationships Between Computer Access, Computer Use And State-Level Technology Policies, Jonathan D. Becker
Educational Leadership Publications
Using data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) state assessment and a survey of state-level technology policies, this study examined digital equity in education as a multilevel organizational phenomenon with data from 70,382 students in 3,479 schools and 40 states. Students in rural schools or schools with higher percentages of African American students were likely to have less access to computers. With respect to computer use, girls and students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch were more likely to use computers more frequently when computers are available in the classroom. With respect to relationships between computer access and …
Deconstructing The Frame: Siting Absence, Jason Wallin
Deconstructing The Frame: Siting Absence, Jason Wallin
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Our contemporary social landscape is increasingly inscribed and articulated through images. With the proliferation of televisual mediums, the image has become the primary vehicle mediating social relationships, impinging on our experience of both self and other (Debord, 1978). As Virilio (2002) avers, the drive of capitalism seeks to appropriate the imagistic code as a bid for mastery over the symbolic order. In this manner, the media/ted images that flood the social terrain are often cites of ideological del sign. In other words, signs are often ideologically 'stabilized' as connotations of other signs, forming an abstract, positive calculus of signification. In …
The Permeable Classroom Or The Tilted Arc Revisited, Karen E. Frostig
The Permeable Classroom Or The Tilted Arc Revisited, Karen E. Frostig
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
"The Permeable Classroom or the Tilted Arc Revisited" reviews the author's various roles as artist, community activist, art educator and art therapist, in the design and implementation of a large, sequential community-based ''Tree Memorial" project. Using the Tree Memorial Project as a compelling example of the "permeable classroom," the paper delivers an overview of the project that takes place in and around the public school setting, featuring collaboration between teachers, students, parents, administrators, community residents, and city officials.
From Out Of Sight To 'Outta Sight!' Collaborative Art Projects That Empower Children With At-Risk Tendencies, Debrah Sickler-Voight
From Out Of Sight To 'Outta Sight!' Collaborative Art Projects That Empower Children With At-Risk Tendencies, Debrah Sickler-Voight
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Children with at-risk tendencies are often left out of sight/ site/ cite because of their potential for academic and social failure. Like all children, children with at-risk tendencies have something of value to contribute to society and yearn for opportunities to show of their talents. This article discusses how three different groups of children with at-risk tendencies in Florida and Tennessee participated in site specific community art projects that targeted their needs. Although each student population worked a different theme, the children expressed similar learning outcomes when describing their involvement with the project. This study demonstrates how collaborative community art …
A Study Of The Relationship Between School Climate And Student Performance On The Virginia Standards Of Learning Tests In Elementary Schools, Victoria Lee Thomasson
A Study Of The Relationship Between School Climate And Student Performance On The Virginia Standards Of Learning Tests In Elementary Schools, Victoria Lee Thomasson
Theses and Dissertations
Educators are examining many aspects of schools as they find ways to help students improve their performance on standardized tests in order to meet both federal and state standards. This study examined the relationship between organizational climate and student achievement on the Virginia Standards of Learning tests. A total of 1,061 teachers in 47 schools across the Commonwealth of Virginia responded to the climate survey. The survey instrument was the Organizational Health Inventory for Elementary Schools (OHI-E). This brief survey instrument examined five aspects of school climate. They were Teacher Affiliation, Collegial Leadership, Resource Influence, Institutional Integrity, and Academic Emphasis. …

Traits Of Writing, Traits Of Art, Michelle Ciancarelli Becker
Theses and Dissertations
A study was conducted of Introductory Art students to find if the six traits of writing as written by Spandel/Stiggins (1997) would have influence over a narrative painting when combined with the six traits of painting. Inconclusive findings were reported. Data difference between the treated and untreated class was less than one point. More research needs to be conducted to study transfer of knowledge from verbal to visual as well as from one curriculum to another with both curriculums teaching same material.
Preliminary Research On Taiwanese Art Curriculum Design Based On Visual Culture, Jui-Jung Chang
Preliminary Research On Taiwanese Art Curriculum Design Based On Visual Culture, Jui-Jung Chang
Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, art education has started an on-going discussion on the issue of visual culture. In the past few years this issue also becomes topical due to the necessity to improve art education in Taiwan. Currently, art education based on visual culture has become a very important concern in Taiwan. However, the concept of visual culture has its origin in foreign theories. In order for our art professional to remain independent, it is essential that Taiwanese art teachers begin to address the issue of how to properly incorporate the concept of visual culture into the design of our art …
