Absent from multicultural art education is an approach that connects everyday experience, social critique, and creative expression with classroom learning. Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education addresses this void by focusing on topics that students care about and that resonate with real life. This volume provides both theoretical foundations and practical resources for educators and students everywhere, including educators' perspectives, colour reproductions and statements in English and Spanish from over 50 contemporary artists, lesson plans, annotated bibliographies and lists of arts and media organisations.
