Burton, Judith M.
Art Education, v44 n4 p34-41 Jul 1991
Examines basic issues about art education including its content, relevance to students' lives, creativity, and testing and accountability. Argues that art educators need to work at diagnosing problems, improving learning, and making opportunities for students rather than attempting to make art education accountable by submitting it to formal testing.
