Article: Studying art history through the multicultural education looking-glass

"Oh, Kitty, how nice it would be if we could only get through into Looking glass House! I'm sure it's got, oh! such beautiful things in it! Let's pretend there's a way of getting through into it somehow" (Carroll, 1969. 127)

In 1871 Lewis Carroll suggested in Through the Looking-Glass that our understanding is influenced by our powers of perception. As Alice looked through her mirror, she saw things from a new perspective. Familiar things appeared differently and her understanding of them was changed forever. Similarly, our understanding of how to teach art history can be changed if we approach the study of it from a multicultural education perspective.
