I very much appreciate the
positive comments made by Mary Ann Stankiewicz in her review published
in Studies in Art Education of my Readings in Discipline-Based
Art Education: A Literature of Educational Reform. I was gratified
to read that she believes the volume is a comprehensive and valuable guide
that all art educators should own as a reference source for the intellectual
history of American art education in the late-twentieth century. Stankiewicz
further notes my steadfastness in holding to a vision of aesthetic education
that is firmly rooted in the humanities and my forthrightness in acknowledging
that a different choice of selections might well convey a somewhat different
picture of Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE). Between encomia, however,
Stankiewicz raises questions about my editorial politics (that is, opportunities
editors have to make selections they think are important) and my views
about art education.
