Abstract
In order to facilitate students’ meaning making with art there are several models of art criticism developed for art education, such as Feldman’s model (1970), the feminist model (e.g., Garber, 1990) and the structuralist educational model (Anderson, 1993). In his book, Interpreting Art: Reflecting, Wondering, and Responding, Terry Barrett does not so much put forth a model (he has done this elsewhere, see Barrett, 1997) as model for the reader the rewards, intellectual and emotional, of interpreting art.
