Intersections: Visual Art & Education Theories


See Denzins (2010) historical moments in qualitative research, as cited in The Qualitative Manifesto
TRADITIONAL (1900-1950): The artist-teacher views learning or artmaking as a timeliness truth based on
scientific principles. (Keifer-Boyd, 2014, p. 195).
MODERNIST (1950-1970): The artist-teacher views learning or artmaking as a formalization of . . . methods
similar to the formal language of elements and principles of art (Keifer-Boyd, 2014, p. 195).
BLURRED GENRES (1970-1986) (see Geertz, 1980): The artist-teacher is aware of their subjectivity, and becomes
a bricoleur . . . , borrow[ing] from many different disciplines (Denzin, 2010, p. 13).
CRISIS OF REPRESENTATION (1986-1990) (see Marcus & Fischer, 1986): The artist-teacher struggles with
locating themselves and their subjects in reflective texts. The line between a text and context blurred (Denzin,
2010, p. 14).
THE POSTS (1990-2004): The artist-teacher develops a concern for literary and rhetorical tropes and the narrative
turn, a concern for storytelling (Denzin, 2010, p. 13).
THE FUTURE (2005-PRESENT): The artist-teacher engages in critical conversations about democracy, race,
gender, class, nation-states, globalization, freedom, and community (Denzin, 2010, p. 13).
Key Visual Art Education Theories
Modern: exploring discipline-based art education (DBAE): historical context; theoretical foundation (i.e., aesthetics,
art criticism, art history, art production); pros/cons; theory to practice; etc.
Postmodern: exploring visual culture art education (VCAE): historical perspective, theory of communications/social
theory, pros/cons; theory to practice; etc.
