Product Description

Product Description

The production and appreciation of art involves thought processes that have excluded from traditional measures of human intelligence. This book, written by a leading cognitive scientist, makes a compelling case for broadening these definitions and discusses the value other cultures place on artistic abilities. Gardner explores the function of art in human development as well as the strategies children employ in the process of constructing images.

Thinking & Expression 8 July 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Being an artist and teaching art, I found that Gardner's paper put into words so much of what an artist does naturally. Incorporating reflection about one's own artwork, about a classmate's, and about the "masters" is so very important in teaching art and in bringing children to think critically and creatively. By interweaving reflection with expression, Gardner has identified the cognitive science that can take place so naturally in the art classroom. Another book which also expounds on the importance of thinking skills and how naturally that can be achieved in art education is Perkin's Intelligent Eye. I highly recommend Gardner's book, especially to art educators in the field.

Excellent book 24 Jan 2009
By artist - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A must read for art educators. I have not read fully- only skimmed so far but Howard Gardiner is inspirational in his educational theories and I plan to carefully digest his ideas about art education.
