Synopsis

Rather than seeing art as a curricular extra, or a fun break from the curriculum, art in the Using Art Critically series is used, like language, as a tool and toy for learning, rethinking, and outgrowing oneself. The authors' intent is to position art as a seamless, joyful, and integral part of the educative process that creates space for exploring important social issues, events, and injustices. In so doing working with art from a critical perspective becomes an opportunity to understand curriculum as one way to explore opportunities for change. This book includes strategies that can be used in elementary and secondary school, and university settings.
