AbOUT ARTPEDAGOGY

ArtPedagogy aims to promote reflective, authentic art and design teaching and learning, delivered with a spirit of 'serious mischief'. Our Threshold Concepts for Art provide the framework for this. We hope that these 'big ideas' will inspire and challenge, instigating thoughtful discussions and positive actions.

As with our sister site, PhotoPedagogy, the aim is for ArtPedagogy to grow as a supportive community - a useful place for art teachers (and students) to take from and contribute to; a diverse representation of ideas and experiences would be very welcome.

You can join the conversation via the comment boxes on each page, or alternatively email hello@photopedagogy.com. If you'd like to subscribe to our (very) occasional e-newsletters you can do so here.

Finally, if these resources do prove useful, please consider making a donation in support of our work with teachers and young people.  All contributions are gratefully received and reinvested in our creative projects.
