Art, Culture, & Education; Artful Teaching in a Fractured Landscape

While the authors of this book were team teaching a course called High and Low Art: Good and Bad Taste , the Sensation controversy at the Brooklyn Museum broke out. This controversy not only shaped their course, but had larger implications for art, culture, and education in general for the twenty-first century. By asking serious aesthetic and cultural questions about art and teaching, this book explores the power of art to shape both our emotions and our intellect.
