This study reflects a synthesis of art, art education, and Southern Baptist education's role in the transmission of values as a foundation for articulating a conceptual and theoretical basis for teaching art in Southern Baptist colleges and universities. The primary focus of this study was to examine ways in which values are transmitted through art, art education, and Southern Baptist education. Each of these three areas was related to (a) the educational setting, (b) the curriculum, (c) the teacher, and (d) the student as a means of structuring the discussion. / As a foundation, art was examined in relation to its role in communication and as transmitter of values. Art educators' statements of art's role in the transmission of values were then examined and synthesized. The following art educators were selected based on their contributions to the field: Laura Chapman, Michael Day, Arthur Efland, Elliot Eisner, Edmund Feldman, Dwaine Greer, Karen Hamblen, Vincent Lanier, June McFee, Jean Rush, Ralph Smith, Brent and Marjorie Wilson, and Michael Youngblood. Literature published in cooperation with the Education Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Association of Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools was then examined to determine the theoretical role of Southern Baptist education as a vehicle for values transmission. A synthesis was then developed which postulates a potential role for art in Southern Baptist colleges and universities. / Results of this study suggest that art can be viewed as a communicative instrument that can serve the aims and goals of Southern Baptist higher education. One of the primary functions of art in the context of Southern Baptist education is that it can be used as a vehicle for values education. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-12, Section: A, page: 3829. / Major Professor: Tom Anderson. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1989.
