Description
Art has been a cornerstone of human culture for centuries, with governments investing millions in art and cultural institutions. But what is the purpose of art in today's society? Richard Hickman explores this question through a psychological lens, drawing on current ideas about evolutionary psychology to address contemporary developmental issues in art education. This second edition of his book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of art-making and its role in education. By examining the underlying reasons why we create aesthetic significance, Hickman provides a thorough and accessible analysis that will be valuable for anyone interested in arts education. With its clear and concise approach, this book is an important resource for those seeking to understand the importance of art in contemporary society.
