Abstract
This paper is reflective of the decline in specialist (Art/Design) teacher education and the lack of initiative in developing a digital rationale within the UK Art and Design curriculum According to the range of sampling afforded by the authors evolving roles [1] little appears to have changed in art and design since the reported findings shared with the World Congress in 2002. [2]New online tools have emerged in accessible forms and provide participatory and collaborative gateways. While the related research in this field indicates that there has been a paradigm shift to the ‘social dimension’, (‘Social Networks’, ‘Learning Platforms’, ‘Timebased Media’) few art teachers translate these resources in an educational context.
The views and opinions expressed in this article are personal but they reflect a genuine concern for a lack of vision in art education (UK), as it continues to follow, rather than lead on creative initiatives. |
