International Journal of Education Through Art Call for Articles

The International Journal of Education through Art is seeking submissions. The journal is interdisciplinary in its reflection of teaching and learning contexts and also in its representation of artistic approaches and practices. It provides a platform for those who wish to question and evaluate the ways in which art education is practiced, disseminated and interpreted across a diverse range of educational contexts. Each
issue consists of peer-reviewed articles and image-text features.

Particular emphasis is placed on articles that:
• Critically reflect on the relationship between education and art
• Propose original ways of rethinking the status of education and art education
• Address the role of teaching and learning in either formal or informal educational contexts and along side issues of age, gender and social background
• Adopt an open and inventive interpretation of research-based analysis
• Promote and experiment with visual/textual forms of representing art education activities, issues and research

Potential Topics include:
• Art, craft and design education
• Formal and informal education contexts
• Meaning making, image and identity in art education
• Public, community and environmental art
• Pedagogy and emerging technologies
• Policy and practice
• Trans-cultural issues
• Visual communication and culture

Special issue: Community art –Volume 8.3
Articles and image-text features are sought for a special issue, which will focus on the broad theme of ‘community art’, sometimes referred to as ‘art in the community’ or ‘socially engaged art’. What are the distinctive features of community art? How does it happen and what does it look like? Who is engaged in community art and where does it take place? What might be the benefits of community art? These are just some of the questions that may be addressed in this issue, there are many more. We are seeking
critical articles and visual essays, or ‘image-text features’ that report on this area of art practice. Image-text features are particularly welcome for this issue.

Guidelines for authors (articles and image-text features) can be found at:
