Summary:This book analyses the modern approaches in American art education from historical and comparative perspectives. It observes the general principles of teaching the fine arts in the United States, exploring the ideas of visual culture studies, modern generational characteristics and social educational factors as part of the current educational environment. Based on a wide variety of academic and practical sources, the book considers the transformation of the aesthetic experience, the general concept of art education, in the modern multicultural milieu. To illustrate the current streams in contemporary American art pedagogy, it embraces a broad spectrum of references, including the classification of art museums in the United States and museums' school projects.
