20 Books Further infomation: www.nsead.org/publications ALL ABOUT BOOKS Primary Publications for Art & Design Books on art and design education rather than the work of artists and designers are hard to find. True, the education sections of the big booksellers and university bookshops are likely to stock some titles from commercial publishers but if you want to appreciate the range of what is on offer where do you look? The mail order bookshop operated by the National Society for Education in Art & Design (NSEAD) normally lists over 200 publications. The more generally available titles account for perhaps twenty-five per cent of the list. In addition are publications from NSEAD itself, from local authorities, university presses and imports from all over the English speaking world. The range includes books that are firmly based in classroom practice, accounts of special projects, those that focus on particular activities such as drawing or the use of computers in art education, curriculum theory and practice, and more philosophical works – in fact, something for everyone from the primary phase generalist, to specialist secondary and tertiary teachers, teacher training and MA students and their tutors. However. primary teachers are particularly well served by over fifty titles. A Year in the Art of a Primary School by Bob Clement and Liz Tarr is a compelling account of all the art work undertaken in one Devon primary school over a full year including detailed planning sheets. There are several guides to preparing art guidelines for primary schools and a very useful text on Improving the School Environment, a self-help guide from the Pioneers. Teaching Art at Key Stage 1 and Teaching Art at Key Stage 2 by Nigel Meager have become standard works. Other useful texts include Maskwork by Jenny Foreman, Developing Art Experience 4–13 by Morgan and Robinson, Art 4–11 also by Margaret Morgan and Art 7–11 by Linda Green and Robin Mitchell. A very useful cross-phase book is Rod Taylor’s Understanding and Investigating Art which uses the National Gallery in London as a model of how to introduce critical and contextual studies in the classroom. A few highlights from the list would include important books from the archive section such as Elliot Eisner’s Educating Artistic Vision, Rhoda Kellogg’s Analyzing Children’s Art and Edmund Burke Feldman’s Becoming Human through Art. Overseas books include a fine series of monographs from the Getty Center for the Arts with essays by Elliot Eisner, Rudolf Arnheim, Howard Gardner, David Perkins and Graeme Chalmers. There is a fine authoritative work from Australia on teaching about Aboriginal Art and the Dreaming, while Finland offers the richly stimulating 1001 Papers. The full NSEAD booklist is available from the NSEAD, The Gatehouse, Corsham Court, Corsham, Wiltshire SN13 0BZ or visit: www.nsead.org/publications Book Review Start Drawing London: Drawing Power: The Campaign for Drawing (2002) 24pp, Colour throughout, £4.00 This valuable and very accessible book is one of a series being produced to accompany the current Campaign for Drawing. ‘Start Drawing’ shows the importance of drawing in the intellectual and emotional development of young children. It is an introduction to how drawing in the early years with children aged 3–6 can support learning across the curriculum. It identifies ways in which drawing can help develop the young child’s ability to respond to and understand the world, to think, to feel, to shape and communicate ideas. It highlights some of the knowledge, skills and attitudes that can be developed. It addresses the questions: Why do young children draw? What are the purposes and functions of drawing? How can drawing be used as a tool for learning? What do young people learn from drawing? Start Drawing is available from the NSEAD, The Gatehouse, Corsham Court, Corsham, Wiltshire SN13 0BZ price £4.00 including post and packing.
