Description
Art As Extraordinary Science: A Paradigm for the 21st Century by Jennifer Waller explores the challenges faced by art and science educators in articulating their roles. By examining the intersection of these disciplines, Waller identifies a paradigm that can inform both fields. Waller's analysis is based on an ethnographic study of Fine Art studio teaching in a university department, which reveals how contemporary art education fits into the quadrant of extraordinary science. This framework provides a powerful contemporary paradigm for what art educators do and offers insights for science teachers seeking to develop their students' potential. By redefining our assumptions about education, Waller's work makes an original contribution to the current literature on teaching and learning practices in the creative arts.
