Developed from the philosophical perspectives of Maxine Greene, aesthetic education at LCI has been practiced since the organization’s inception in 1975. To date, there are few thorough scholarly attempts to articulate both the philosophy and practice of aesthetic education at LCI. Within the larger field of arts education, there is also a dearth of material written about the actual classroom practice of teaching artists—professional artists who work in educational sites, and who are often employed by cultural

    Robert Harris, a renowned writer and experienced professor, published “On the Purpose of a Liberal Art Education” in 1991. He was astounded by how many students he heard mumbling about a generalized education plan; therefore, he felt the compulsive need to explain why a general education not only gives a first-year student a foundation for later learning, but also improves a student’s life. Before Harris could write his paper, he had to investigate the claim; thus, Newman’s The Idea of University shaped Harris's opinion on a liberal education. Newman and Harris both agree that a generalized education helps train the mind to see culture in every situation. Moreover, this article states that a liberal arts education will teach a student how to think, how to learn, how to see the world as a whole, how to become a good teacher, and how to be happier.…

    McKemy first got into art during junior high. “The art room was my most comfortable place within the school building” she says. The art room was to McKemy as the Bodhi tree was to Buddha. McKemy gained relaxation from the art room, just as Buddha gained enlightenment from the Bodhi tree. It wasn’t until high school, though, that she realized how important art was to her. In a school of over 3,000 students, art was what gave her identity. High school was also when she started taking art seriously. McKemy recalls, “My High School art teacher, Mr. Goodwin, was the first person who made me realize that art was a legitimate subject, not merely a pastime, and worth pursuing.” Mr. Goodwin was…

    In this article both ethical and logical appeal are used to explain why education should change and how there should be more liberal art education to advance student training to prepare them for the world they will face. Its understandable why colleges don’t offer liberal art courses; they can be very expensive to the school and kids these days are not attending these classes, however, there is plenty of evidence that shows the benefits…

    Socioeconomic flexibility should not define whether a student has access to explore art. Eliminating art from the majority of public school curricula positions art as a luxury available only to a few. I accept the responsibility of imparting my passion for art to students who lack this opportunity because I know how visual communication affirms identity.…

    One of the biggest issues that urban and suburban school systems face today is the slow reappearance of segregated schools. The main problem with segregated schools is that, as a trend, urban schools tend to be on a substandard level as compared to most suburban schools. This may be due to their lack of money and how the money each school has is used. Urban schools do not have as many opportunities as suburban schools, like the use of new technologies, or going outside to play, or going on fieldtrips, due to the lack of money/resources and safety issues. Students that attend and graduate from suburban schools have more options than those attending and hoping to graduate from an inner city school. Dropping out of school is a greater issue in an inner city school than it is in a suburban school. Some urban students are able to be bused to suburban public schools, or leave the public school system to attend an independent or…

    Why should a person be required to take an arts course? Most school systems are requiring a fine arts course to graduate or earn their advanced diploma. Fine arts may include art, music, and or drama. Taking a fine arts class should be required because one might like it, so the classes fill up, and so one can learn the fine art that was chosen.…

    The definition of intelligence according to the merriam-webster dictionary is the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations or the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one 's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria like IQ tests. The definition of achievement is an accomplishment, a result gained by effort, a great or heroic deed. Based on the definitions we can infer that intelligence may not necessarily play a role in achievement. An achievement can be to sail around the world while it may not be the most intelligent decision to make.…

    The first crisis, which centers on disadvantaged minority children attending inner-city schools, has received considerable attention, as well it should. Put simply, it involves students whose habitat makes it very difficult for them to learn. The key issues are more social than educational. These children clearly need dedicated teachers and a sound curriculum, the two staples of a quality school, but the fact remains that most of them will not make significant progress until they also have decent housing, a better diet, and a safer environment in which to live.…
