Principles and Practices

Catalog description

In this introduction to the field of art education, we will critically examine past and present pedagogical approaches to art education in Pk-8 and 5-12 within the historical context of schools and their relationship to the larger community. We will investigate the contemporary climate of art education. Through discussion, research, reflection and experiential work students will arrive at a broad and inclusive definition of art and art education with strategies to put this into practice.
