Using Art Critically

Rather than seeing art as a curricular extra or a fun break from the curriculum art in the Using Art Critically series is used like language as a tool and toy for learning rethinking and outgrowing oneself. The authors' intent is to position art as a seamless joyful and integral part of the educative process that creates space for exploring important social issues events and injustices. In so doing working with art from a critical perspective becomes an opportunity to understand curriculum as one way to explore opportunities for change.
