Abstract

Abstract: An important topic in art and design education is how the confluence of design disciplines with media arts and other fine arts disciplines is shaping content and pedagogy at both the college and K-12 levels. The problem for those who train artists and art educators is how to prepare students within a field where art, design, and media arts are changing both in content and in their relationships to each other. This problem is particularly acute for art education where there is a need for current and future teachers to have experience with and be able to teach within various art, design, and or media arts areas. This paper describes an ongoing research project that is exploring the pedagogy and interrelationship of design, media arts and art programs within university level art programs. This study is still in progress; data is being gathered and interpreted. This research is designed to provide insights and recommendations for the preparation of artists and art teachers who will need to navigate educational assessments, licensure requirements, and art and design programs within rapidly changing schools.
