ABSTRACT

This chapter is concerned with issues relevant to teaching and learning in the visual arts. As with other subject areas, it is impossible to place clear and finite parameters around the discipline. Teachers of undergraduate and taught postgraduate art, media and design should find much they recognise; teachers of performing arts, publishing and communication will probably find some aspects of this chapter applicable and some less so. Teachers in other practice-based disciplines, such as medicine and engineering, may also find aspects of relevance.
