The arts are truly adventures of the mind.

This book stresses that the arts are cognitive and affective essentials in human development. Of special interest are the treatments of examples of artwork in defining and explaining various forms of visual and auditory imagery.

The author includes scholarly research from the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, medicine, music, linguistics, and visual arts to bring together theories and questions that will drive and nourish the continued search for understanding the human mind and humaneness. The text is a representative grouping of studies and ideas that help to define and clarify creativity, arts processes, critical thinking, and aesthetics in education.
