Zusatztext This book is definitely one of the essential books today dealing with contemporary art education in the field. It particularly deals with timely but very important issues in visual culture and art education, analysing and interpreting the concept of visual culture and its meaning to art curriculum. The author, Prof. Paul Duncum, is one of the most leading and influential international scholars in the field, one of the founders and an expert in visual culture in art education. This book is one of the must-buy books that can certainly inspire international art educators and students, and be a major resource for the study of visual culture in art education. Informationen zum Autor Paul Duncum is Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, USA, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Tasmania, Australia. Klappentext Contemporary societies are saturated with pictures. They are globally a part of everyday life, and they are seductive, offering values and beliefs in such highly pleasurable forms that it is often difficult to resist their power to persuade. Yet interpreting pictures is largely neglected in schools. Picture Pedagogy addresses this head on, showing that pictures can be used as a powerful form of classroom pedagogy. Duncum explores key concepts and curriculum examples to empower you to support students to develop a critical consciousness about pictures, whether teaching art, media, language or social studies. Drawing on the interpretive concepts of representation, rhetoric, ideology, aesthetic pleasure, intertextuality and the gaze, Duncum shows how you can develop your students' skills so that their power as viewers can match the power of pictures to seduce. Examples from the history of fine art and contemporary popular mass media, including Big Data and fake news, are drawn together and shown to be appealing to the same aesthetic pleasures. Often these pleasures are benign, but also problematic, helping to promote morally questionable ideas about a range of topics including gender, race and sexual orientation, and this is explored fully.
