What is distinctive about art and design as a subject in secondary schools?What contribution does it make to the wider curriculum?How can art and design develop the agency of young people?Understanding Art Education examines the theory and practice of helping young people learn in and beyond the secondary classroom. It provides guidance and stimulation for ways of thinking about art and design when preparing to teach and provides a framework within which teachers can locate their own experiences and beliefs. Designed to complement the core textbook Learning to Teach Art and Design in the Secondary School; which offers pragmatic approaches for trainee and newly-qualified teachers; this book suggests ways in which art and design teachers can engage reflexively with their continuing practice. Experts in the field explore:The histories of art and design education and their relationship to wider social and cultural developmentsCreativity as a foundation for learningEngaging with contemporary practice in partnership with external agenciesThe role of assessment in evaluating creative and collaborative practices Interdisciplinary approaches to art and design Developing dialogue as a means to address citizenship and global issues in art and design education.Understanding Art Education will be of interest to all students and practising teachers; particularly those studying at M Level; as well as teacher educators; and researchers who wish to reflect on their identity as an artist and teacher; and the ways in which the subject can inform and contribute to education and society more widely.

Jr.This is a veritable encyclopedia of every aspect of making fine dress shirts. The author has published a book of tips and details accumulated after decades of shirt-making with engineering-like analysis. dissection. experimentation of all aspects of dress shirts. like pockets. plackets. collars. yokes. etc.Besides this book. the author monitors and answers quickly ANY questions about shirt-making on Facebook ("Shirtmaking with DPC") and has a video class on Craftsy (e.g. $17.95 on sale at times) that complements this book.For those more interested in casual shirts. the authors other book "The Shirtmaking Workbook" (on too) is more general and is accompanied by a TON of links to his website and others regarding every aspect of shirt-making.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Still a very good source after all these years!By Brenda G.I am expecting Mr. Coffins new publication on this subject to arrive in the mail any day now. I ordered this book some time ago and have found in rereading it that it was just as engaging as the first time I read it! One would not think a book on the subject of shirtmaking could be at once precise and fun to read but Mr. Coffin pulls it off. Yes. he is very opinionated and passionate about the right way to do things. but he backs up his claims with the kind of knowledge that can only be gleaned from years in the trenches - this man has gleaned a great body of knowledge from his experience about materials and techniques for success on this fascinating subject. He also sites some sources that I was surprised to find are still valid after all these years! For example. the Gohn Brothers still exist and still sell workshirt chambray fabric. Please note that this is not full of "make it in a day" type projects (unless you are already an expert Tailor) however; it does contain Passionately Conveyed Knowledge that can. with persistence and patients. guide you on your quest to make a shirt worth wearing be your man or woman. Get out your Muslin and practice! Still a very good book after all these years!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You want to know how to make shirts? Buy this book.By Ken V. EppsThis is a thin but dense book. There is a lot of information to cover and it can be intimidating. Take your time and read it thoroughly. The author makes the subject very approachable and give a great insight into the logic and process. The recommended sources section seems a bit dated. but I know that would be difficult to keep up in a print edition
