What the Current Education Reform Reports Have to Say about Arts and Humanities Education.

Wieder, Charles G.

Art Education, v43 n3 p44-49 May 1990

Examines how current education reform reports reflect arts and humanities education. Maintains that the reports are marginalizing the arts and are advocating a back-to-basics approach. Points out that National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) tried to overcome this trend by introducing "basic arts education." (KM)
