Moving link from Art article. I didn't find an already-existing Art Education article so I made a stub. --sparkit (talk) 05:42, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Arts" or "Art"?

Shouldn't this article be called 'visual art education'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.133.205 (talk) 14:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

"Arts" education is a catch-all term, used for better or worse to mean all disciplines usually considered to be artistic (dance, music, literature, visual art), and usually in a school setting. "Art" education in the vernacular generally means education in the visual arts (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.) without reference to the other arts. It's not clear which application this author intends, as the wording implies both at different times.

Also, what is the aim of art education or rather what is it's objective as a field of study? This has certianly changed over time and one could argue that while Arthur Dow (1908) would explain it is "the education of the whole people for appreciation" others today would likely diagree with this notion. What are we talking about here?
