Summary:

This latter focus - the infusion of the arts into the standard curriculum - is the focus of our monograph. School people, legislators, or interested citizens who want more than a casual knowledge of the rationale for weaving the arts through the entire fabric of schooling might find themselves needing a sabbatical from their other commitments. The quantity of words that has been produced to make the case for arts in education by theoreticians, aestheticians, educators, arts generalists, arts specialists and advocates is prodigious.
