Title: Re-learning, Re-thinking & Re-framing Art Education
Abstract of the discussion room: Join us for a live panel discussion between the InSEA European Regional Council members and conference participants. We will be reflecting upon the recent ERC webinar ‘Post Pandemic Practice in Europe: re-learning, re-thinking & re-framing’ Implications for art teachers’ and revisiting the emerging themes and issues. We will be open to engaging the participants and we will use this is a moment to come together to support art educators in dealing with change, and possibly offer approaches to challenge established ways of working, thinking and being in schools.
This is a record of our lively discussion. Enjoy it and thanks for the discussion!

European InSEA Congress – Baeza, Jaén
Being Radical
Making is Art and Education
If we have solutions, our intention is not to dictate them. If we have answers, our intention is not to impose them. We want to be radical in the way we make actions. Art education blurs and vanish when we forget that its core is the artistic action. In educational contexts, we have to often turned artistic practice into an adjective. Other times we transformed it in a goal or any other complement. Artistic practice is educational per se. The artistic action serves on the same dish the content and the form in which content is shaped; and that’s why its action is doubly effective.
What we propose, being radicals, is to bring artistic action to the foreground. We don’t want to talk about art or art education, we want to make it. Through the process of making; the process is internalized and we are credible if what we are claiming for is what we carry inside us.
Because of all this, the axis of the congress is the format of the participation: let’s not talk about art education using scholastic ways do communication, let’s share by doing it. In this way the participation and the organizational structure of the congress, are articulated around action as theoretical development.
The central theme of the congress is, therefore, the same: the action is always iniciated with a starting point. Plenary sessions are actions that reflectively develop a concept, but always based on the action. Presentations will be real actions or graphic, videographic or audio evidence of actions.
At the end of the congress, the closing sessions will engage participants in collective dialogue and reflection. Other sub-themes of the congress will be all those we always bring, no matter what is proposed. Our social commitments, the nature, the technologies. Through art everything is connected, consequently, every theme can be important.
Therefore, the invitation to participate in this congress is a call to bring our experiences of art and education or artistic education through our own experience of art or education.
