"Art Education and Social Justice" Art Gallery
A special exhibit from the National Art Education Association Featuring 135 artwork from 142 schools! In partnership with Artsonia and NAEA, hundreds of art teachers throughout the U.S. have created a special art exhibit surrounding art education and social justice, the theme for the 2010 NAEA National Convention being held in Baltimore.
The theme of the 2010 NAEA National Convention, Art Education and Social Justice, is appropriate to our time. The historic election of President Barack Obama and Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflects our ever shifting demographic. Our nation is truly questioning itself in order to discover and redefine who we are as a nation, what we believe in, and what needs to change. Social Justice can be and has been used to mean many different things. Within the realm of education, the term social justice alludes to the notion of education as a political act, and when coupled with the term art education hints at models of resistance - teaching as a form of activism. The National Art Education Association (NAEA) is the premiere association for art education professionals worldwide. Click here to view last year's "Landscape for the 21st Century" exhibit. |
