The second edition of the fascinating collection of essays on teaching art in secondary schools, boasting a new chapter on visual culture as well as extensive material on the changes that have occurred in this area since 2000. What kind of art would we like school and college students to produce? What kind of art do we want them to engage with? What is the process of this engagement? How should we organize the processes? By asking fundamental questions such as these, Richard Hickman and his team of contributors illustrate the new possibilities for art education in the twenty-first century and draw out the implications for classroom practice - making Art Education 11-18 the definitive guide to the subject in the postmodern era.

It is important to maintain a history and archival record of the art education professional associations, state and national. Those who have gone before should be honored, since they struggled to build the National Art Education Association into the largest association of its kind in the world. And a history of its professional development, and in a way of art education itself, helps prepare for the challenges of the future. Following an introduction by the editor, chapters are: (1) "The Emergence of the Regionals and the NEA Art Departments: The National Art Education Association Is Born" (John A. Michael); (2) "The Development of the NAEA Constitution" (Ivan E. Johnson); (3) "A National Association: Our Growth, Organizational Development, and Special Projects" (Charles M. Dorn); (4) "Membership and Affiliate Groups" (Charles A. Qualley); (5) "Professional Conferences for Art Educators: A Pilgrimage to Excellence" (Susan M. Shoaff-Ballanger; Jack Davis); (6) "Ideas with Philosophic Impact of Art Education from the 1930s to 1997" (Marylou Kuhn); (7) "People of Color, Their Changing Role in the NAEA" (Eugene Grigsby, Jr.); and (8) "NAEA Recognition Awards" (John A. Michael). Appended are additional information resources. (BT)

Iona and Peter Opie were twentieth-century pioneers. Their research and writing focused on the folklore of British children – their games, rhymes, riddles, secret languages and every variety of the traditions and inventions of the children’s collective physical and verbal play. Such closely observed, respectful, good-humoured and historically attuned writing about the traditions of childhood was a revelation to English-language readers around the world. Their numerous books were a rare phenomenon: they attracted a popular readership far beyond the professional and academic communities. For those who work with children, their collaborative research was a powerful influence in confirming the immense capacities of the young for cooperation, conservation, invention and imagination. Their books challenged – then and now – the bleak and limited view of children which focuses on their smallness, ignorance and powerlessness. The writers in this volume pay their tribute to the Opies by exploring a wonderfully varied topography of children's play, from different countries and different perspectives. Their research is vivid and challenging; that is, as it should be, in the tradition of the Opies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Play.
