 Manuel Barkan, head of the Arts Education School of Fine and Applied Arts at Ohio State University, and one of the many pedagogues influenced by the writings of Dewey, explains, for example, in his book "The Foundations of Art Education" (1955), that the aesthetic education of children prepares the child for a life in a complex democracy.Dewey himself played a seminal role in setting up the program of the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, which became famous for its attempt to integrate art into the classroom experience.The growth of art psychology between 1950 and 1970 also coincided with the expansion of art history and museum programs.
