What is art education?
Art education is the area of learning that is based upon
the visual, tangible arts—drawing, painting, sculpture, and
design in jewelry, pottery, weaving, fabrics, etc and design
applied to more practical fields such as commercial
graphics and home furnishings. Latest trends also include
photography, video, film, design, computer art, etc.
Historically art was taught in Europe via the atelier Method system
where artists' took on apprentices who learned their trade in much
the same way as any guild such as the Masons (stonemasons or
goldsmiths etc). The first art schools were established in 400BC
Greece as mentioned by Plato.
During the Renaissance formal training took place in art studios.
Historically, design has had some precedence over the fine arts
with schools of design being established all over Europe in the
18th century. Education in art takes place across the life-
span. Children, youth, and adults learn about art in community
based institutions and organizations such as museums, local arts
agencies, recreation centers, social service agencies, and prisons
among many other possible venues.
Within art schools "visual arts education" encompasses all the
visual and performing arts delivered in a standards-based,
sequential approach by a qualified instructor as part of the core
curriculum. Its core is the study of inseparable artistic and
aesthetic experience and learning.
