The 32nd World Congress of the International Society for Education through Art
5 - 9 August 2008, Osaka, Japan
The arts-related environment surrounding children has become extremely diversified and increasingly borderless. The combination of sensuous media arts in visual culture challenges the efficacy of a traditional art curriculum. Art educators are challenged to consider the inclusion of comprehensive media arts – including screen images and drama – in the mainstream of educational practice. Critics of the status quo assert that the concepts of traditional art and music education might not best serve today’s students. This Congress will examine, discuss, and debate proposals for broader concepts for arts education, including those centered on creativity and imagination.
