THINKING THROUGH DRAWING: PRACTICE INTO KNOWLEDGE

The Program in Art and Art Education at Teachers College Columbia University is pleased to sponsor a series
of publications under the general heading: “The Practices of Investigation,” in which the idea of practice is
defined in terms of pedagogy, art and research, and investigation as an openness to discovery, systematic
inquiry, and unveiling the hidden and unsuspected order of things. The series aims to make a contribution to
the domain of art education in which knowledge and practice are in transition, open to question and subject
to considerable contemporary debate.

Faculty and students, working separately and in collaboration, have contributed to each volume. Taken
together, the series features a wide spectrum of practical investigative work with children and adolescents in
studios, museum settings and out of school. Leaning more towards theory, the series also encompasses short
synopses of the variety of dissertation topics undertaken by doctoral students in the Program. Other volumes
advance thinking about classroom art practices at all levels of schooling, while others question the dominant
aesthetic-artistic foundations underlying the various practices of art education itself.

The series has been originated and edited by Dr. Judith m. burton, Director of the Program in Art and Art
Education. she gratefully acknowledges the participation and support of the art education faculty and
students, and the myers Foundations which has made publication and dissemination of this series possible.
