Description: In the past few decades making art has been used in special education classrooms as a way of offering psychic freedom if not bodily freedom by providing a partial antidote to the social problems generated in an impoverished environment. The art that has emerged has redeemed the inevitable isolation and loss and become its driving force. Wexler argues that the arts are most effective when they are in service of social growth critical to identity formation. This book balances theory with practical knowledge and offers critical research that challenges the biases regarding the nature of art and education. It includes case studies examples of the author's strategies with children and art students as well as a chapter devoted to lesson plans.
