Community-Based Art Education Across the Lifespan: Finding Common Ground [Kõva köide]

Much has been said recently about the need to foster inclusivity and to build bridges between schools and the communities that they serve. However, few resources are available to guide educators who wish to take action. Through sharing their broad experience with CBAE and walking the reader through the steps they have used to create successful projects, Lawton, Walker, and Green are able to fill this void. They explain how they were able to establish common ground with diverse stakeholders while also offering transformative experiences to students. Artists and teachers who desire to promote greater community engagement, either by working with K-12 schools or by serving older learners, will find this book an inspirational and useful roadmap.
