Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1980 - 1989

However, the literature also indicated that this assumption has not been substantiated by research. A total of 408 students (204 Spanish language students and 204 non-Spanish language students) from …

Marginal Images: Art And Ideology In The School, Dan Nadaner Jan 1983

Marginal Images: Art And Ideology In The School, Dan Nadaner

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

Art has come to connote something that is eclectic and unpredictable. Art may be concerned with the aesthetic organization of visual elements, or it may defy conventional aesthetics; it may seek to interpret visual experience, or it may interpret psychological phenomenon that have no visual manifestation; it may have significant social content, or it may not. Art defies generalizations about its form, but welcomes more readily a characterization of its spirit. Art is inquiring, open-ended, illuminating, often startling. Art is very close to the central concerns and experiential reality of the artist. While it is increasingly difficult to say what …
