Art Education and the Visual Arts in Botswana

The history of art and design education in Botswana has evolved in a unique way and reflects its British colonial history and post‐independence development. It has involved constant exchange and dialogue with other countries through the employment of teachers, teacher trainers and university lecturers from a variety of European, Asian and other African countries. This dialogue has continued as locally trained art teachers pursue their degrees overseas and return with new ideas and influences. At the same time, the development of local crafts for a global market and the inter‐cultural exchange in the visual arts outside the formal education system are thriving with the help of various organisations and the museum and gallery sector. This article will look more closely at the country context, the history and development of art education and the interrelationships that have evolved over the last two decades. It will show how students engage with the challenge of integrating their African heritage and changing traditions with their development as teachers and artists. It will also consider how closer links between the formal and informal art sectors might be mutually beneficial and demonstrate the potential for art and design to play a role in the social, economic and cultural development of the country.

Art as Fulfilment: on the Justification of Education in the Arts

This article critically examines current ways of justifying a place for the arts in general education and develops an alternative position. First, justifications relying on the positive non-artistic outcomes of art education are represented and problems exposed. Next, I discuss and criticise the position of John White, who takes the arts to promote self-knowledge, ethical contemplation and social cohesion. Then I develop a new account of artistic value based on the concept of fulfilment.     

艺术教育与教育艺术漫谈

艺术教育与教育艺术是两个不同的概念。艺术教育以其实施美育的特殊功能和途径,对促进人的智力因素和非智力因素的和谐发展有着非常重要的作用。教育艺术则是不同门类教学中所共有的、最能充分体现＂教育＂本质的＂艺术＂活动。当前素质教育的实施,对教育改革的深度和广度以及紧迫性都提出了新的要求,所以树立现代化的教育艺术观,研究探讨教育艺术对教育的作用和影响,具有重大的现实意义和深远的历史意义。     

存在的艺术和艺术的存在——“转向”时期海德格尔艺术思想探析

文章简要梳理了海德格尔存在之思与艺术之思互释的思路历程,指出“转向”时期的重要著作《艺术作品的本源》和对荷尔德林诗的阐释,是海德格尔从存在去规定艺术和用艺术来阐释存在的尝试,体现了海德格尔存在论的艺术本质观和文艺批评观。海德格尔对艺术的形而上沉思,虽然没有给我们提供最终的答案,但他富于启发性的思考和追问,已将艺术哲学引领到了一个崭新的理论境界。     

Art,Design and Environment: A Programme for Teacher Education

This account of a programme for PGCE Art/Design students at University College Bretton Hall, Wakefield (UK) describes an attempt in initial teacher training to develop a course of study which links art, design, environment and education. It seeks to develop a range of perceptions of the built environment, including those of the artist, the critic and the designer. The ideas and methods of working developed on this programme support students’ work in schools. The paper explains the rationale and describes the intensive workshop programme, which includes streetwork, studio sessions and critique. It reports on students’ research and their work in schools. Issues include the place of built environment studies in the Art/Design curriculum, the use of the environment as an educational resource and learning methods and teaching strategies. It comments on the satisfactions and frustrations of developing such a programme in initial teacher education. It presents the work at Bretton Hall as a case study in a wider range of work currently being developed by students, tutors and teachers involved in other courses. They have come together through the ‘Site Specific Project’ to create a research network to support curriculum innovation and teachers’ professional development.

Advocacy,Resources, Teachers: Continuing Challenges for Art Education

Industrial art education entered nineteenth century Massachusetts schools as an educational reform, but was not completely successful for a variety of reasons. Key factors contributing to this failure included, first, conflicting rationales used in advocating art education. Second, discrepancies between authoritative taste and early consumer choice in art reproductions threatened the power of reformers, notably Walter Smith. Third, differing assumptions about art among art specialists and classroom teachers, compounded by growing distinctions between men’s and women’s sphere of action, made it difficult for teachers to fully participate in the reform process. Late twentieth century reform policies may also fail without recognition of multiple justifications, with over-reliance on top-down expertise, or with lack of attention to teachers’ beliefs and needs.
