Credit: 3 hours.

Provides Art Education majors with a philosophical foundation for teaching art in public schools. The literature to be examined is organized according to three major historical movements: self-expression in Art Education, discipline-based art education, and visual culture in Art Education. The primary emphasis will be on understanding recent and contemporary orientations. Students will compare and contrast the literature in terms of theories offered or assumed of children, art, pedagogy, and society. Particular emphasis will be placed on emerging trends in Art Education, especially the use of technology and the value of visual culture in student lives. It is envisaged that this course will provide the primary theoretical foundation for further practical and pre-service teaching courses in Art Education.
