This book introduces current concepts in art teaching and the historical roots of the discipline. The complex causal framework linking education and art serves as the starting-point and the thread on which the presentation is based. The professional fields involved in art teaching - particularly art teaching in schools - and the target groups and methods are then discussed in detail. The volume also provides an in-depth introduction to central fields of scholarly research on art and provides information about the most important questions for study courses.

Prof. Georg Peez teaches art education and theory of art teaching at Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main.
