The Art and Craft of Pedagogy: Portraits of Effective Teachers [Hardcover]

This book is important in that it questions artists' professional identities and explores the potential for productive interrelationships across the roles of artist, teacher and researcher. There is some material on the artist-teacher-researcher. As such, this book is significant identifying and addressing this gap. Maria Lim, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro,International Journal of Education through Art

This book is a close look at exemplary professional practices of art teachers as a model, in terms of pedagogy, for working outside their discipline. Hickman explores the admirable journeys of ten successful teachers, including himself, of art and design and their substantial teaching practices regarding adolescent learning. This book is an excellent resource for helping pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and educational administrators answer their questions and concerns about pedagogical practices of teachers in general.
