On the Spiritual Element in Arts Education.
Abbs, Peter
Australian Art Education, v19 n1 p18-23 Sum 1995
Attempts a redefinition of spirituality and an incorporation of this into art education. Argues that symbolic and spiritual consciousness plays a crucial role in the works of artists as disparate as William Blake and Frida Kahlo. Criticizes the preeminence of scientific theory as a modern belief system. (MJP)
