Abstract

The goal of this investigation is to find a simple body of knowledge that will provide teachers and students with the understandings needed to appreciate the visual passion of prominent abstract artists' works. In order to do that, I wanted to learn what art educators know in regard to abstract art, and about how they change students' negative attitudes toward abstract art, and how do art teachers motivate students to inquire further into a visual expression to ascertain its true worth, and what can inspire students to try to discover the value of the aesthetic experience offered in abstract art.
