Exploring these histories as transformative and paradigm-shifting in museum education, it elevates MoMA educators as vocal advocates for…

If we are to address the complex needs of contemporary education, then reflection on the arts when talking about integrated education is somewhat logical and should be considered as one principal objective of Arts Education. Current educational policies at the international level point toward a more integrated education, however, there is no…

We present an argument for a higher priority for art in the educational system and "make a case" for the arts--to provide a rationale for its priority in adult education. This is the plan: to provide this rationale; to present practical guidelines for the processes of engaging in art that may be transformative and critical for…

In this article, the authors discuss the intersectional art practices of contemporary Asian American artists via antiracist art inquiry grounded in intersectionality and AsianCrit. This inquiry is rooted in the authors' own lived experiences as an Asian immigrant and an Asian American, both of whom embody immigration and transnationality. The…

In this paper, Andrea Fiore sketches the notion of familiarity in Dewey's thought, particularly in its relations with education, aesthetics, and art. The importance of that notion emerges in Dewey's well-known writings such as "How We Think," "The School and Society," and "Art as Experience," where he shows that not…

This paper seeks to introduce a meaning-making process called 'sensuous abstraction' as one approach to aesthetic experience in line with Dewey's philosophy. Dewey highlights aesthetic experience as the best form of experience that integrates emotional and intellectual qualities to foster deep learning and insights. Building on contemporary…

To conceive a philosophy of art education that is removed from actual practice would belie the extraordinary experience of developing and making practice. In this article, I propose to explore the philosophical implications of art practice being an experience of the 'daily extraordinary.' A view of practice as being at once stretching and…

We argue that the art museum can and should be a place of philosophical exploration. It can be such a place because philosophy and art have important similarities. They both ask us to adopt a non-instrumental, contemplative attitude toward the world that allows us to widen our personal viewpoint and explore the complex nature of things. To…

The aim of this article is to present pedagogical inspirations in contemporary art. In pedagogical research and analyses, we more frequently pose questions about the artistic inspirations for educational theory and practice. In the face of the educational turn in contemporary art and culture, it is worth considering inspiration in the opposite…

The inflecting intensity of artworks will be characterized as an affirmative critique of the archival objectives of the museum in the article that follows. It will be argued that the nuanced, vibrant materiality of art, the pedagogy that constitutes its aesthetic experience, enables ways of working out of the limits of the museum's archival…

Informed by understandings of affect theory, the pedagogic potential of object itineraries, or simply, the journey of things, is proposed in this case as a form of sensual a-r-tography. A pair of sporty shoes as mundane objects are at the heart of this deliberation, and the mechanism through which to consider the scope of conversations underway…

At this time when interdisciplinary education in higher education is in trend, the Bauhaus is in its prime again as it celebrates 100th anniversary. Anni Albers, a seminal figure in textiles, art education and modern art in America, was one of the few artists who were present in both of the experimental art colleges of the century- Bauhaus in…

Teachers who have no formal arts background and yet integrate the arts consistently may provide essential understanding on how to render to all students a well-rounded education that encompasses the arts. Education that embraces the arts helps students to develop essential thinking skills, expand their creativity and ways of expressing, and…

Research-creation practices have long consulted the public in the process of research, yet the act of making often rests in the hands of the individual researcher. This paper proposes a more integrated and collaborative framework for arts-based researchers and educators called Community-Based Research-Creation, which extends the collaborative…

Maps offer a means of visual communication that facilitates the understanding of space, geography, and social phenomena. Meanwhile, "cartography" refers to the science of collecting and analyzing data for the purpose of defining and representing geographic measurements of territorial areas graphically at a reduced scale on maps (Wigen…
