- SchoolArts
SchoolArts is the leading art education magazine for the K-12 art educator.
"SchoolArts" magazine originated in 1901 in
Massachusetts when Henry Turner Bailey (state agent for the Promotion of Industrial Drawing), Fred Daniels (supervisor of drawing in the city of Worcester), James Hall (supervised drawing in Springfield), and Gilbert Gates Davis (a printer) collaborated to produce "The Applied Arts Book", now known as "SchoolArts". They believed art teachers needed a periodical to help them develop and use emerging art curricula. Ideas from many of the great minds of the twentieth century have appeared within the pages of "SchoolArts", includingArthur Wesley Dow ,Viktor Lowenfeld andJohn Dewey . "SchoolArts" articles planted some of the first seeds for movements such as Picture Study, the Arts and Crafts movement, and multiculturalism. "SchoolArts" grew and started publishing books. In 1958,Davis Publications was incorporated as a separate company that continued to publish SchoolArts. The publisher, Wyatt Wade, is married to Erika Davis Wade who is Gilbert Davis' great granddaughter. (Excerpted from “The Mission Continues” by Wyatt Wade, "SchoolArts", September 2001, p 18).The company is located in the Printer's Building in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Editor of "SchoolArts", Nancy Walkup is a full-time art teacher lives and works in
Denton, Texas . "SchoolArts" counts about 21,000 subscribers including K-12 art teachers, libraries, and schools in the United States and several foreign countries."SchoolArts" helped to establish a community of art teachers and its articles continue to inspire art teachers with new ideas, industry trends, lesson plans, and ready-to-use classroom resources. Each year the magazine features fine art from museums, contemporary works from PBS's hit series "Art:21 Art In the twenty-first century", guides for new or pre-service art teachers, lessons for early childhood, elementary, middle and high school, online art resources, and techniques for working with special needs in the classroom.
