The Infusion of African American Art from Eighteen-eighty to the Early Nineteen-nineties for Middle and High School Art Education
註釋Abstract: In this study I investigate one middle school art education text, Understanding and Creating Art, by Goldstein, Katz, Kowalchuk, and Saunders (1986) and one high school art education text, A Basic History of Art by Janson and Janson (1992). I use content analysis research methodology to explore the written text for the diverse discourses on African American art and artists from the 1880's to 1992 in art history. This study focuses on the authors' sundry interpretations in which African American art and artists are represented. I investigated the authors' descriptions and interpretations on African American art and artist by probing three key issue categories such as: 1) historical (style isms, media, technique and terms), 2) anthropological (cultural diversity, social, culture, difference, race, representation, gender), 3) rhetorical (validation of multicultural views, D.B.A.E., identifications, description, interpretation, language assumptions, and attitudes). This study examines key words like realism, cubism, expressionism etc. for historical issues, key words like minorities, mainstream, dominant, cultural and social for anthropological issues, and key words like non-Western, elements of design, race, ethnicity, gender, other, and difference for rhetorical issues. The context of the authors' descriptions and interpretations on all the represented artists within a given chapter, unit, and/or segment becomes the subject under analysis.
