Reimagining the Art Classroom
Field Notes and Methods in an Age of Disquiet
A guide for reimagining an art teaching practice.
Intended for artists, teachers, and people who teach teachers, Reimagining the Art Classroom is designed to present the many diverse methodologies of art and art education in a way that delivers a deep understanding of issues and trends while also leaving space for divergent practices. The contributors frame their 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? The result is a guide for developing a teaching practice that will actively engage students and carry the potential to transform the school experience for adolescents.
