What Do Artists Know?

Informationen zum Autor James Elkins is E. C. Chadbourne Professor in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He coedited the previous volumes in the series, Art and Globalization (Penn State, 2010) and What Is an Image? (Penn State, 2011). Klappentext Each of the five volumes in the Stone Art Theory Institutes series! and the seminars on which they are based! brings together a range of scholars who are not always directly familiar with one another's work. The outcome of each of these convergences is an extensive and "unpredictable conversation" on knotty and provocative issues about art. This third volume in the series! What Do Artists Know?! is about the education of artists. The MFA degree is notoriously poorly conceptualized! and now it is giving way to the PhD in art practice. Meanwhile! conversations on freshman courses in studio art continue to be bogged down by conflicting agendas. This book is about the theories that underwrite art education at all levels! the pertinent history of art education! and the most promising current conceptualizations. Zusammenfassung Brings together historians, philosophers, critics, curators, artists, and educators to ask how art is and should be taught. Explores the theories that underwrite art education at all levels, the pertinent history of art education, and the most promising current conceptualizations.
