Art Criticism and Education completes the Disciplines in Art Education         series. In the first section, Theodore Wolff deals with the role of the         art critic in education. He gives a practical overview of how the principles         and practices of art criticism can be applied to the teaching of art (k-12).         In the second, George Geahigan begins with an historical overview of art         criticism in education literature and provides a conceptualized approach         to critical inquiry, asserting that the most effective form of that inquiry         is the pursuit of meaning in works of art. A rare combination of the practical         and theoretical, Art Criticism and Education will be an invaluable         aid to anyone involved in art education.       A volume in the series Disciplines in Art Education: Contexts of Understanding,         edited by Ralph Smith       Supported by the Getty Foundation
