The book's starting point is the idea that art education is not merely a practice-based field; it also requires a strong theoretical foundation, interdisciplinary interaction, and critical thinking. In this vein, while the chapters in the book may appear independent of one another, they actually approach a common question from different angles: How can visual arts education be made more meaningful, effective, and holistic?

This book aims to provide a comprehensive resource both theoretical and practical for academics, teacher candidates, and practitioners working in the field of visual arts education. Designed with an interdisciplinary approach, the work seeks to contribute to theoretical and practical discussions in the field, enrich current approaches, and open new avenues for inquiry and research for both researchers and educators.
