ART HISTORY

Art history is the discipline that focuses upon the role of art and artists in culture and the history of art-making. Art history provides the "big picture," the historical context in which all artistic achievement is considered. Art history as a discipline can have many interesting facets, including:

study of the history of art-making and artistic achievement in terms of traditional stylistic eras and movements;

analysis of the works of various artists whose works have been recognized and valued by society and preserved for future generations to experience;

investigation of works of art to determine origin, history, impact upon art and artists, and interpretations of meaning; and

assessment and understanding of works of art in the light of broad social, political, and cultural themes that underscore art as an exciting and important form of human activity and accomplishment.

ART PRODUCTION

Art production is the discipline of art-making, the creative processes through which artists produce images in various materials to create desired visual effects. There are many facets of art production that may be explored, studied, and experienced by students, including:

becoming familiar with a wide range of art materials, tools, equipment, and techniques;

learning about traditions of craftsmanship, such as respect for materials, and attitudes held by artists about their work;

developing the personal qualities required for successful artistry, such as persistence, patience, and self-criticism;

learning to express ideas and feelings in visual form;

understanding artists' motivations, learning about their lives and their contributions to society; and

appreciating the various contributions to an artist's work made by his or her artistic training and experience. This includes the cultural histories from which artists draw inspiration and ideas.

In the classroom or in the artist's studio it is appropriate for the teacher to raise questions with students about the artist and his or her work even while students practice the skills of art-making and create their own art, including;

What are the steps involved in fashioning a given material and applying techniques to produce an artistic composition?

What might have been the sources of the artist's visual idea(s), and how have these been worked out in the composition?

Is the work well-made, and is the final product consistent with high standards of craftsmanship?

Is the artistic idea a new one, a variation on an old or established idea, or an encore of somebody else's work?

What changes might one make to strengthen the work?

ART CRITICISM

Art criticism focuses upon the perception, description, analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of works of art. It includes the basic observation, scrutiny, and report by artists, viewers, scholars, and others who encounter works of art to help them know and understand what is presented by the visual form. The art critic asks fundamental questions about what is there (perception and description), what it means (analysis and interpretation), and what its worth or value is (judgement).

Art criticism involves careful observation of works of art, comparing and contrasting works to one another, and consideration of the social and other contexts in which works are produced. Questions to be asked might include:

What is the subject matter in the work? What is it about?

What is the specific significance and meaning of the objects, non-objects, or visual effects in the work?

Does the work have an overall meaning to which the various components contribute?

What do critics say the work means and how is the work regarded overall in the development of the artist and of other artists?

What judgments might be made about the artist or the subject matter based upon the work being analyzed?

AESTHETICS

Aesthetic discussion looks at the nature of art and raises questions about its definition and significance. Aesthetics helps students learn to evaluate the basis upon which to make informed judgments about art. It also helps them to appreciate the complexities and subtleties of a variety of aesthetic experiences. Aesthetics includes the study of the special qualities of the aesthetic experience and its unique contributions to human life and culture.

What is art?

What is meant when one says something is beautiful or ugly?

What is unique about the aesthetic experience?

How do we and how do other people support or justify our judgments about the value and significance of art?

Aesthetic discussion conducted with younger children should be consistent with their levels of intellectual and psychological development and their mastery of language. Children can talk about aesthetics. Through such experiences students can better appreciate the meaning of works of art, what kinds of objects are art in a variety of cultural contexts, and the special qualities they offer. Techniques that offer access to works of art, such as aesthetic scanning, help initiate the kind of talk about art through which students may eventually explore the nature of some types of art and probe its significance and its challengesAdapted from: The DBAE Handbook by Stephen Mark Dobbs
