An outside View of Discipline-Based Art Education

Abstract

Alfred Schutz's essay The Stranger is an exercise in determining what constitutes being an outsider, and how an outsider may construct an impression of the reality shared by the ingroup. To be cast in the role of Stranger examining the uses of discipline-based art education and activities of The J. Paul Getty Trust's Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts not only fits my nationality and geographic circumstances, but also my lack of involvement in any aspect of the projects undertaken by the Institute. If my impressions appear fragmentary and ill-informed to those who have been intimately concerned in the Institute's doings, they will at least be sure that my opinions are not the result of personal axe-grinding, and can judge whether the fault lies with my private perceptions or with their public image.
