Description
Book SynopsisArt and Design Pedagogy in Higher Education provides a contemporary volume that offers a scholarly perspective on tertiary level art and design education. Providing a theoretical lens to examine studio education, the authors suggest a student-centred model of curriculum that supports the development of creativity.
The text offers readers analytical frameworks with which to challenge assumptions about the art and design curriculum in higher education. In this volume, Orr and Shreeve critically interrogate the landscape of art and design higher education, offering illuminating viewpoints on pedagogy and assessment. New scholarship is introduced in three key areas:
- curriculum: the nature and purpose of the creative curriculum and the concept of a sticky curriculum' that is actively shaped by lecturers, technicians and students;
- ambiguity, which the authors claim is at the heart of a creative education;
- value, asking what
