Review Quotes
Bassett's book is sensitive yet scholarly... the finest text one could use in art education courses... a beautifully written book!
--ChoiceThe executive committee of the National Association of Independent Schools appointed a special committee on the study of art to produce an evaluation and report. The committee expanded its scope and received support from The MIT Press. In the report here, five contributors offer nine articles that are evaluations of present educational programs and suggestions for future art involvement by secondary schools and colleges.
