This book is for artists, teachers, and those who prepare teachers.
In the field of art and design education there are many theoretical
strands that contribute to the practices of teaching and learning
in the visual arts. The problem for artist teachers and those who
prepare teaching artists is how to frame the diverse methodologies
of art and art education in a way that affords divergent practices
as well as deep understanding of issues and trends in the field.
Teachers need a field guide that provides a contextual background
of theory in order to make their own teaching practice relevant to
contemporary art practices and important ideas within the field of
education. The book, in its content and presentation of content is
pedagogical; it provides a catalyst and prompt for meaningful and
personal artistic inquiry and exploration. The book describes
connections between teaching and artistic practices including the
pedagogical turn in contemporary art. As a book for artists and
designers, it is graphically compelling and visually inspiring. It
is designed to be engaging for the practitioner and theoretically
robust. A problem with many current texts is that they are written
by academics who are often a step removed from the issues of
classroom instruction and tend use the language of the scholar,
which is appropriate for a scholarly journal, but can be difficult
for other audiences. This book will bridge this divide through its
use of design, narrative, and descriptions of innovative artistic
practices. Rather than being a book about “best practice” it is
a book about “diverse practices” within art making and
teaching. This field guide to artistic approaches, including
methods for teaching art, frames its arguments around critical
questions that artists and art teachers must address such as: What
is the role of art and design in secondary education? What will I
teach? How do we go about teaching art? How do I know if my
teaching is working? What is the role of traditional mediums and
methods within contemporary art practices? How can art teachers
contribute to the reinvention of schools? How might fluency within
a medium be connected to important issues within culture, including
the culture of adolescents? This book includes examples of
approaches that might provoke or inspire artist and pedagogical
inquiry. These are approaches that actively engage students in work
that disrupts taken for granted conventions about schooling and its
purposes. It considers how art and design might transform the
school experience for adolescents.
