Summary:
"This edited volume explores the ways in which practicing K-12 art educators can engage with students to develop democratic habits. The authors provide 9 case studies written by art teachers and based on action research in their classrooms. The sections, organized thematically by student choice, voice, and building community, suggest that these habits can be cultivated in the art classroom and are necessary for democratic engagement. Overall, the book suggests how art education is a bastion of freedom in public education where students and teachers can think and act collaboratively and critically"-- Provided by publisher.
