Overview

Apprenticeship in the Arts serves as the second volume in the Aristotle's Intellectual Virtues series, offering a profound alternative to the dominant educational paradigms of the modern era. In this work, Jason Barney explores the intellectual virtue of techne, which he defines as artistry or craftsmanship-a ""reasoned state of capacity to make involving a true course of reasoning."" By moving beyond the abstract cognitive skills of Bloom's Taxonomy, this book proposes a holistic vision of education that reunites the head, heart, and hands. The author provides a fivefold division of the arts, integrating athletics, common and domestic arts, professions and trades, fine arts, and the liberal arts into a single framework. This volume is not merely theoretical; it includes a practical guide for lesson planning in the apprenticeship mode, utilizing the ""I-We-You"" movement to coach students toward mastery. Drawing on the wisdom of figures like Comenius and Aristotle, Barney shows how to structure schools as ""workshops humming with work"" that connect the academy to the professional working world. Ultimately, Apprenticeship in the Arts equips educators to move from simple information transfer to a transformative process of character and skill development.
