Arts Education Beyond the Classroom. ACA Arts Research Seminar Series.
Balfe, Judith H., Ed.; Heine, Joni Cherbo, Ed.
The 13 seminar papers presented in this collection discuss various avenues used for educating adults in the arts in order to enrich existing arts audiences and to educate the widest possible adult population in the practice and history of art and aesthetics. These efforts will ensure that the quality and quantity of arts participation and support will not diminish in our society. Foremost among this beyond the classroom, adult audience are the baby boomers, who now represent one-third of the U.S. population, as well as some special audiences, such as those over sixty-five, who make up one-eighth of today's population. The introductory section contains essays: "On the Necessity of Adult Arts Education Beyond the Classroom" (J. Balfe; J. Heine); "On Adult Arts Education" (S. Lipman); and "Adults and Art Education, Literature Review" (D. Pankratz). The section on Art Education in Corporate and Community Settings includes "Pepsico Sculpture Gardens" (K. Niles); "The Emergence of Art Education in the Workplace: Chemical Bank's Program" (A. Remer); and on the "Affiliate Artists" (R. Clark; L. Stoops). Arts Education for Special Audiences contains "The Art Endowment's Programs for Special Constituencies" (P. Terry); and "Arts Education for Deaf Populations" (D. Sonnenstrahl). Arts Education in Museums includes "Museum Arts Education in Visual Literacy" (P. Yenawine); and "Museum Access: Planning for Diverse Audiences" (K. Lochridge). Arts Education and the Mass Media contains "New Communication Technologies" (T. Newman); and "The Arts in the Mass Media" (R. Kotlowitz). An essay on "Arts, Education, and Nontraditional Settings" (D. McConathy) and a 101 item select bibliography on adult art education (D. Pankratz) conclude the document. (PPB)
