The Value of Drawing Instruction in the Visual Arts and Across Curricula: Historical and Philosophical Arguments for Drawing in the Digital Age: Routledge Research in Arts Education

Autor Seymour Simmons III
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2022
By applying philosophical and historical perspectives to drawing instruction, this volume demonstrates how diverse teaching methods contribute to cognitive and holistic development applicable within and beyond the visual arts.
Offering a new perspective on the art and science of drawing, this text reveals the often-unrecognized benefits that drawing can have on the human mind, and thus argues for the importance of drawing instruction despite, and even due to contemporary digitalization. Given the predominance of visual information and digital media, visual thinking in and through drawing may be an essential skill for the future. As such, the book counters recent declines in drawing instruction to propose five Paradigms for teaching drawing – as design, as seeing, as experience and experiment, as expression, and as a visual language – with exemplary curricula for pre-K12 art and general education, pre-professional programs across the visual arts, and continuing education. With the aid of instructional examples, this volume dispels the misconception of drawing as a talent reserved for the artistically gifted and posits it as a teachable skill that can be learned by all.
This text will be of primary interest to researchers, scholars, and doctoral students with interests in drawing theory and practice, cognition in the arts, positive psychology, creativity theory, as well as the philosophy and history of arts education. Aligning with contemporary trends such as Design Thinking, STEAM, and Graphicacy, the text will also have appeal to visual arts educators at all levels, and other educators involved in arts integration.

Recenzii

"The drawing activity (and its cousins: sketching, doodling, painting, design, calligraphy, sculpting) can be traced back in time at least to early cave paintings more than 30,000 years ago, or even to rock art hundreds of thousands of years ago. Drawing is at the birth of writing and the archiving of ideas, knowledge, giving us a more powerful means to extend our cognitive horizons than the mere oral traditions. Seymour Simmons brings back to the centre this fundamental activity necessary to each human's learning and development: each of us experiments and flexes our brain, in infancy, to learn about representing shapes, the world, and imagine and set theatrical scenarios, in large part through drawing. Simmons sets the stage for the next paradigm shift in education and beyond, in the current era dominated by computing and the scientific method: that of unleashing our creativity with the use of our body-mind through the various dimensions offered by drawing."
-- Frederic Fol Leymarie, Professor of Arts Computing, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
"Seymour Simmons' book is a tour de force, covering the panorama of issues in drawing, the arts, education, philosophy-- indeed, what makes for a full life. The book may well be the best synthesis of Project Zero's contributions to artistic education and artistic knowledge."
