Summary: The publication of Arts as Education celebrates our belief that the arts are an essential aspect of human development - that is, of knowing and being in the world - and, further, that the arts are fundamental to education. With a reminder to the educational community that it is inclined to sweep aside the arts, we want to begin a new conversation about the importance of the arts in education with the aim of facilitating and changing public discussion about the arts. To achieve that aim, we present the voices of practitioners who view the arts as central to their teaching. For both teachers and students, the arts can be a form of expression, communication, imagination, observation, perception, and thought. The arts are integral to the development of cognitive skills such as listening, thinking, problem-solving, matching form to function, and decisionmaking. They inspire discipline, dedication, and creativity. The arts give rise to many voices. They can nurture a sense of belonging, of community; or, they can foster a sense of being apart, of being an individual. The arts also provide a vehicle for individuals, communities, and cultures to explore their own world and journey to new ones, thus enriching their understanding of the varied peoples and cultures that exist on our planet. We believe this is particularly important during this period of global change. All the contributors to this book are dedicated to the arts' essential role in teaching and learning. As editors, our hope is that this book will serve to be a resource and inspiration for artists, teachers, learners, policymakers, researchers, philosophers, and theorists, so that the arts will become an integral aspect of ongoing educational practice and debate.
