Papers by graduate students, and occasionally papers from their mentors which establish a context for the student papers, are organized into four sections. Section 1, "Observation," includes two papers, "Observation Children at a Puppet Theater Performance" (Grace Johnson), and "Manipulations: Clay Construction" (Kim Spradling). Section 2, "Interview" presents: "Interview of an Artist/Engineer" (Karen Hoyt), and "A Depth Interview: Development of an Interest in Art Education" (Christina Thompson). "Ecology", the topic of section 3, is discussed in "Ecological Observation of an Art Gallery" (Priscilla Fenton), and "An Ecological Study of the Art Library" (Janice Johnson). The last section, "Descriptive Survey," includes, "A Descriptive Survey of a Seventh Grade Art Class" (Donna Sharp), and "A Descriptive Survey of Attitudes Toward Art Class" (Marge Stell). (MM)
