  • BRUSHES with HISTORY IMAGINATION and INNOVATION in ART EDUCATION HISTORY DATES: NOV 19–22, 2015 RECEPTION: NOV 19, 6-8PM V V V
    BRUSHES WITH HISTORY IMAGINATION AND INNOVATION IN ART EDUCATION HISTORY DATES: NOV 19–22, 2015 RECEPTION: NOV 19, 6-8PM v v v WELCOME TO BRUSHES WITH HISTORY: IMAGINATION AND INNOVATION IN ART EDUCATION HISTORY (BWH) at Teachers College (TC). Our goal is to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of ideas, issues, information, and research approaches utilized in the historical investigation of art education within local and global contexts. We will offer opportunities to engage with the rich resources in art education history at TC and beyond, explore more sophisticated approaches and methods of historical research, encourage interest in historical research, and extend the conversation on how meaning is produced in historical research trends and representations. This conference comes two decades after the last academic conference on the history of art education held at The Pennsylvania State University in 1995. TC’s legacy of “firsts” begins with the College itself and focuses on renewing this legacy through TC’s Campaign. This is the first history of art education conference taking place in the 127-year history of the College as well as that of the Program in Art & Art Education. The conference title highlights Imagination and Innovation in Art Education History. On the face of it, acts of imagination and innovation have not always been thought synonymous with our perceptions of history. Enshrined in former documents, statutes, and pronouncements of trained experts, the historical records of TC and art education history, cathedral-like, have seemed carved in stone for all time. Yet the carved gargoyles of personal histories excavated from a widening global context and told in vernaculars as old and varied as history itself challenge us with a new and more complex story that is yet in the making, providing a platform to sustain a vibrant culture of innovation and groundbreaking scholarship at TC.
