This book introduces current concepts in art teaching and the historical roots of the
discipline. The complex causal framework linking education and art serves as the starting-point
and the thread on which the presentation is based. The professional fields involved in art
teaching - particularly art teaching in schools - and the target groups and methods are then
discussed in detail. The volume also provides an in-depth introduction to central fields of
scholarly research on art and provides information about the most important questions for study
courses.
