Tuotetiedot

This book brings together the work of researchers, scholars and artists whose professional activity centres on the fields of contemporary arts, design, art education and sustainability. In general, the Relate North series helps advance our understanding of art and design education, particularly among people living in Northern and Arctic areas. This particular volume, the fifth in the series, focuses on the inter-relationship of art, design and education for sustainability. Contributing authors provide fascinating accounts of current research and praxis in several northern countries including Canada, Finnish Lapland, Scotland and Sweden. Art and Design Education for Sustainability will be of interest to a cross section of the art and design education research community which may include, for example, art and cultural historians, sociologists, artists, designers, art educators and practice-based researchers. In addition, the book will be of use to undergraduate art and art education students, postgraduate students in the arts and policy makers concerned with northern issues relating to art, design, education and sustainability.
