{"product_id":"why-we-make-art-richard-hickman-9781841503783","title":"Why We Make Art: And Why it is Taught","description":"\u003cp\u003eGovernments around the world spend millions on art and cultural institutions, evidence of a basic human need for what the author refers to as 'creating aesthetic significance'. Yet what function or purpose does art satisfy in today's society? In this thorough and accessible text, Richard Hickman rejects the current vogue for social and cultural accounts of the nature of art-making in favour of a largely psychological approach aimed at addressing contemporary developmental issues in art education. Bringing to bear current ideas about evolutionary psychology, this second edition will be an important resource for anyone interested in arts education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Hickman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841503789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841503783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Intellect (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Richard Hickman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447986073855,"sku":"9781841503783","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88c965ba-5c1b-41fc-8310-51bd032015f4.jpg?v=1777236136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-we-make-art-richard-hickman-9781841503783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
