\nRobert J.SaundersArt ConsultantConnecticut State Department of Education  \nCouncil for Basic Education725 Fifteenth Street,N.W.Washington,D.C.20005  \n# FOREWORD\n\nSome have been surprised to learn that the Council for BasicEducation includes the arts among the subjects which allstudents should take in school.Although art was not explicitlylisted in the Council's original canon,there was for years anassumption that it belonged and should have been acknowledg-ed.In The Case for Basic Education(Atlantic-Little,Brownand Company,1959),Clifton Fadiman wrote that basic educa-tion “concerns itself with those matters,which,once learned,enable the student to learn all the other matters,\"and explain-ed that “certain subjects have generative power.”The Councilbelieves that the arts,properly defined and well taught,havegenerative power,and in 1975 the arts were specifically in-cluded in CBE's canon of basic subjects.  \nStill,we were not entirely sure how the arts belonged inbasic education.This occasional paper is an attempt to answerour own question.In the spring of 1978,Jacques Barzun,TheUniversity Professor Emeritus at Columbia University andone of the Council's directors,delivered the keynote address atthe annual meeting of the National Art Education Associa-tion in Houston,Texas.His speech,“Art and Educational In-flation,\"presented in cogent terms a straightforward ra-tionale for teaching and learning the arts,in contradiction tomuch that is offered in support of art in the schools.  \n10   \nThe speech thus provided a point of departure for an occa-sional paper.But more than a rationale was needed.Robert J.Saunders agreed to carry the argument forward from Dr.Bar-zun's point of departure,and show how teachers in schools canmake art a generative kind of learning.Dr.Saunders is ArtConsultant in the Connecticut State Department of Educa-tion.A teacher himself,he has written extensively about theteaching of art.His writings inelude Teaching Through Art.(American Book Company,1972),an artprint series for theelementary grades,and Relating Art and Humanities in theClassroom (Wm.C.Brown Company Publishers,1977),a col-lege textbook.  \n0  \n5//  \nReaders should remember that Dr.Barzun's speech was justthat:a speech,delivered to a national assembly of teachers ofart,provocative in intent but constructive in purpose.Notethat the speech comprehends allthe arts,while Dr.Saunders'ssection of the paper is limited to","cbCaipWTot2DHVQQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipWTot2DHVQQ","pdf",3225760,48,"English","# Foreword\n# Contents\n##
