Art and Culture, Visual and Verbal Thinking: Where Are the Bridges?

Parsons, Michael J.

Australian Art Education, v18 n1 p7-14 Sum 1994

Discusses three types of distance in art education that should be bridged: (1) between studio art and art criticism/history; (2) between thinking in images and thinking in words; and (3) between art and culture in cognition. Recommends a curriculum to integrate studio work with criticism and teach art along with culture. (CFR)
