Exhibiting Student Art: The Essential Guide for Teachers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807746721)

Exhibition is a vital component of art education, yet most teachers have no formal training or expertise in designing and producing art exhibits. In this book, David Burton offers a comprehensive, hands-on approach with an emphasis on engaging students to develop, implement, and evaluate their artwork. He breaks down the exhibition process into five major steps: theme development, exhibition design, exhibition installation, publicity, and receptions. Each step is exemplified with cases based on actual teacher experiences. Including a review of the historical development of exhibitions, this accessible volume:

• Emphasizes an active role for students in the exhibition process, exploring the enormous power exhibitions have in influencing learning in visual arts education.
• Describes the concepts and skills students and teachers need in each phase of creating an exhibit.
• Provides supportive case studies and photographs to illustrate exhibition theme, design, and venue.
• Covers assessment and practical teaching strategies related to exhibition.
