This book presents a range of possibilities and starting points for—and conversations about—meaningful journeys related to the exploration of visual arts content and the engagement of learning. The authors highlight and blend theoretical, practical, and flexible approaches to integrating curriculum inquiry and curriculum design.

 

Curriculum Inquiry and Design will benefit educators in school- and community-based contexts as they design, plan, interpret, and transform curricula into significant learning experiences. It will be of particular interest to visual arts educators studying in undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, graduate certification, and community arts-based programs, as well as in art education methods and curriculum courses. It can aid art education faculty members and graduate students in understanding the interplay of curriculum within educational settings, and provide an impetus for promoting partnerships between school, higher education, and community programs.
