Description

The International Journal of Education through Art is an English-language journal that promotes relationships between the two disciplines. The journal comprises refereed texts in the form of critical essays, articles, exhibition reviews and image-text features. Particular emphasis is placed on articles and visual materials that critically reflect on the relationship between education and art. The editorial content proposes original ways of rethinking the status of education and art education, while addressing the role of teaching and learning in either formal or informal educational contexts – and alongside issues of age, gender and social background. The adoption of an open and inventive interpretation of research-based analysis is also a factor in the selection process, as is a contribution’s capacity to promote and experiment with visual/textual forms of representing art education activities, issues and research.

The journal is interdisciplinary in its reflection of teaching and learning contexts and also in its representation of artistic approaches and practices. It provides a platform to question and evaluate the ways in which art is produced,
disseminated and interpreted across a diverse range of educational contexts. The contributions consider both formal and informal education contexts: policy and practice, pedagogy, research, comparative education, and transcultural issues are all considered in order to raise debates in these areas.
