The Art and Craft of Pedagogy: Portraits Of Effective Teachers Reprint Edition

A fascinating investigation of teaching artistry, the subject of education is presented in a lucid manner that is poignant and revealing. Hickman contextualizes his study with a deep analysis that we have come to expect from the distinguished scholar and reveals the aesthetic and intellectual crossroads of teachers that are engaging, encouraging, and ripe for further discussion. –G. James Daichendt, Professor of Art, Azusa Pacific University, California, USA, and Principal Editor of Visual Inquiry: Learning and Teaching Art

The Art and Craft of Pedagogy confirms the intrinsic pedagogical character of art practice. By bringing together the stories of an array of art practitioners working within different settings and environments, Richard Hickman helps his readers to better understand the relationship between art and teaching. In so doing he also dispels the mechanistic fallacy of art as an instrument of education” where artists are expected to remain accountable to a schooled establishment that reduces art education into a functionalist machine.” –John Baldacchino, Associate Professor, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA
