First published in 1990. The aim of the series is to define and defend a comprehensive aesthetic, both theoretical and practical for the teaching of the arts. There can be little doubt that of the six great arts which the Library of Aesthetic Education is committed to defending and defining, film has been the most ignored in the curriculum of our schools. There is a grand irony in this for film is not only the one unique art form developed in our own century but also the most unequivocally popular. Film was envisaged as part of a system of communications which had to be decoded in terms of ideology and contextualized in terms of power and control. Robert Watson’s Film and Television in Education with its telling subtitle An Aesthetic Approach to the Moving Image sets out to remedy the neglect.

Über Autor(innen)

Robert Watson, At The London SchoolAt The London School of Film Technique (The London International Film School), Robert Watson received a vocational training which he has come to regard, over the last twenty years, as a model of disciplined creativity in education. His sense of the underlying significance of basic film conventions has evolved and been strengthened through a decade of teaching in comprehensive schools and, since 1986, his work at Bretton Hall.
