Histories of Art and Design Education

Mervyn Romans

Description

This Collection of fourteen essays by eleven different authors demonstrates the increasing breadth of enquiry that has taken place in art and design education history over the past two decades, and the expanding range of research models applied to the subject. The essays are grouped into six sections that propose the emergence of genres of research in the field - Drawing from examples, Motives and rationales for public art and design education in Britain, Features of institutional art and design education, Towards art and design education as a profession, Pivotal figures in the history of art and design education, and British/European influence in art and design education abroad. The rich diversity of subject matter covered by the essays is contained broadly within the period 1800 to the middle decades of the twentieth century.

The book sets out to fill a gap in the current international literature on the subject by bringing together recent research on predominantly British art and design education and its influence abroad.

It will be of specific interest to all those involved in art, design, and art and design education, but will equally find an audience in the wider field of social history.

Contents include:
• Drawing from examples
• Motives and rationales for public art and design education in Britain
• Features of institutional art and design education
• Towards art education as a profession
• Pivotal figures in the history of art and design education
• British/European influence in art and design education abroad

Index
Preface
This book is the second in a planned series of anthologies dealing with a range of issues in art and design education. The first to be published addresses issues surrounding critical and contextual studies: other titles in preparation include assessment and evaluation and postmodernism. The primary - but not exclusive - source of chapters are papers previously published in the [ International ] Journal of Art & Design Education and where appropriate these have been updated.
The National Society for Education in Art and Design is the leading national authority in the United Kingdom, combining professional association and trade union functions, which represents every facet of art, craft and design in education. Its authority is partly based upon a century-long concern for the subject, established contacts within government and local authority departments, and a breadth of membership drawn from every sector of education from the primary school to universities.
