Philosophical Foundations for
Art Education in Fulton County Schools
Art Education in Fulton County Schools integrates the study of art history, art criticism, aesthetics, and art production. As a subject in our schools, art education is based on the belief that looking at, talking about, and making art are processes essential to the well-educated student. The well-educated person is conversant with a breadth of ideas about:
- functions and styles of art in a wide range of cultures and societies.
- influences, impact, and relationships of art to events and the human condition throughout history.
- purposes, functions, and theories of art and artists in society.
- knowledge, application and use of a variety of art media, skills, techniques, and processes.
The study of art provides major opportunities to nourish high level thinking. When well taught, skills associated with artistic thinking include the ability to see clearly, analyze, reflect, make judgments, forge connections among ideas and information, and generate new ideas from diverse sources. more
