When we view art, understanding comes in part as we engage in reflective practice. Here, author Zach Kelehear encourages school leaders and teachers to reflect on their own leadership capacities and to develop an art for leading schools. Using the language of art criticism and critique with real-life examples and case studies, he helps readers to identify an "eye" for leadership with specific discussion in matters of school leadership and instructional supervision. Drawing on the arts-based research approach, Kelehear embraces the language of art critique: the elements of art and the principles of design. The Art of Leadership: * Presents original art work from the lithographs of Joseph Norman and provides an example of art criticism from each work * Describes a real-life case study that involves the element or principle * Helps readers connect the art interpretation with the leadership application Readers will gain: * A deeper appreciation for the critique of art * An enlarged view of the art of school leadership and instructional supervision * A better understanding of their own leadership art This book should be of interest to students, practitioners, and artists in K-12 and higher education.
