Following the blockbuster success of Wicked Arts Assignments, Wicked Arts Education helps teachers and creatives design exciting arts educational programs from scratch.

Arts programs foster a meaningful connection between the culture of the student, the arts and society. The included educational design strategies have been tested in a variety of settings around the world and were found to be helpful in challenging arts educators to explore curriculum ideas collectively, creatively and productively. In a time of individualization and polarization, this volume underlines the power of collective learning about, in and through the arts.

Though Wicked Arts Education can be used to create personalized learning trajectories, it also advocates building learning communities in which students and teachers share interests, expertise and opinions. Wicked Arts Education can be used in a variety of educational contexts: from primary to higher education, and for arts curricula inside and beyond schools.

This book is not only for educational settings, however, but intended for a wide-reaching audience that includes anyone wanting to work collectively with others on a creative project. The term "arts" underlines that this workbook is suitable for the visual arts, music, dance, theater, film or design, but also for designing interdisciplinary arts projects and courses.

So, whether you are an arts teacher, an artist or a curriculum designer, or if you want to set up a single lesson or a complete arts curriculum, this book is not to be missed.
