The State of the Art: Art Education in the Elementary School

my share of writing and research in the field, but I somehow felt that the gap between journal and practice was too wide and that perhaps the political arena would enable me to succeed in doing what my research had failed to do. I came to the office, therefore, full of hope and enthusiasm-and as some of my colleagues on the Board (and particularly on the professional staff at Reston) will attest-with impatience as well. You received me in that office with more support than I had any right to expect and with expectations that under my leadership great strides would be made by the Association and by the field. We have taken some strides, but they are small ones. Frankly, I do not know whether our Association or any association in education can take great strides. We are an association of almost 9,000 members and 2,000 student members. The Association today has the largest membership it has ever had since it was established in 1947.

Role of computer technology in medical illustration.
OBJECTIVE
Recent improvements of computer technology have resulted in a new approach to medical illustration and the scientific research process. The purpose of this manuscript is to define the current state of the art and to review paths of progress.


CONCLUSION
Using examples, we compared the process of time-intensive hand-rendered art with current art created using new computer technology. Specific emphasis was made on the newest technologies and how high-quality lower cost medical art can now be created. These newly available tools and illustration methods have resulted in a new approach to research, creation, and reproduction of medical art.
