Using Art (Paintings, Drawings, and Engravings) to Teach Economics
Watts, Michael; Christopher, Chineze
Journal of Economic Education, v43 n4 p408-422 2012
The authors provide a brief review of how economists have dealt with art in their research and more popular writings, and then consider the case that has been made for using art and other visual materials in general education and--in very few cases--to teach economics. A new Web site on Art and Economics is introduced that makes it easier for economics instructors to find and use art with their students. They discuss several different ways of using the art in classes, and provide a table with over 50 paintings from the Introduction slide show at the Web site to illustrate the range of economic concepts and issues that can be taught with art. (Contains 6 notes and 1 table.)
