It observes the general principles of teaching the fine arts in the USA, exploring the ideas of visual culture studies, modern generational characteristics, and social educational factors as part of the current educational environment. Based on a wide variety of academic and practical sources, the book considers the transformation of the aesthetic experience, the general concept of art education, in the modern multicultural milieu.
