Although art is taught around the world, art education policies and practices vary widely-and the opportunities for teachers to exchange information are few. International Dialogues about Visual Culture, Education, and Art brings together diverse perspectives on teaching art to forge a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing art educators in every country. This comprehensive, authoritative volume examines global views on education policy, discusses new trends in critical pedagogy, introduces new technologies available to educators, investigates community art projects, and shows how art education can be used for peace activism.
