Artist-teacher: a philosophy for creating and teaching, paperback/g. james daichendt

Is an artist-teacher a mere professional who balances a career or does the duality of making and teaching art merit a more profound investigation? Rejecting a conventional understanding of the artist-teacher, this book sets out to present a robust history from the classical era to the twenty-first century.

Particular pedagogical portraits featuring George Wallis, Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Victor Pashmore, Richard Hamilton, Arthur Wesley Dow, and Hans Hofmann illustrate the artist-teacher in various contexts.

This book offers a revelation of the complex thinking processes artists utilize when teaching, and a reconciliation of the artistic and educational enterprises as complimentary partners.
