This book shows the continuing importance of art education. Art
education attracts students who see multiple meanings and
justifications for the worth of that education. Their engagement in
art education is not limited to the uncertain prospects for jobs or
routes into employment in the arts. Furst and Nylander approach art
education through a rich array of empirical examples derived from
Swedish folk high school programs in music, visual arts, and
creative writing. Based on an analytical framework of pragmatic
sociology, the book allows the reader to understand the competences
and critical capacities held by students and teachers. The book
challenges the dominant public perception of art education and
broadens our understanding of what it is good for. The Value of Art
Education is essential reading for those defending the status of
this vital sector of education, offering a deeper understanding of
why people engage, what they gain, and the social importance of the
arts.
