This publication first discusses the changes in the social context of art and how that has impacted both K-12 and university-level education; the authors then analyze art as an idea, language, form, and social enterprise, maintaining that it is critical for educators to agree on the goals of art education in order to provide accountability in a climate of educational reform. The title closes with an open letter to art educators from Dorn, clearly outlining steps and goals to develop a strong and lasting theory in art education. This title contains no index.
