ABSTRACT

Since the 2009 edition of this Handbook, the sector has seen significant change. Rather than rehearse these broad changes, this chapter will outline the ones that are specific to art, design and media insofar as they inform approaches to teaching and learning. This chapter endeavours to explore the challenges for art, design and media covering five thematic areas and offering potential ‘solutions’: (1) creativity: challenges for teaching and learning; (2) transition and the student experience in art and design; (3) space, practice and innovation; (4) assessment in art, design and media and (5) enterprise and employment.
