View LinkResponding to the challenge to care: Suggestions for art education curricula
In this article, the authors speculate on the role that art education might play in fostering caring relationships and experiences for children. Inspired by the work of Nel Noddings, the authors offer suggestions for developing a caring approach to art education curricula. The article introduces strategies that are generally congruent with Noddings’ concept of relational ethics and that include the use of (a) instructional units based on selected themes of care, (b) cooperative art activities, and (c) the willingness of teachers to adopt caring personas in their art classrooms.
