Conversations on Finnish Art Education (2015)

Art education exists on the borderlines of the global and local. The last 100 years of Finnish art education are no exception and belong to the wider international research field. The history and evolving practices of Finnish art education interact with paradigms of international art education.

Conversations on Finnish Art Education consists of writings by Finnish, European, and American scholars. It presents international topics that resonate with current issues in Finnish art education. Chapters address what it means to be a contemporary Finnish art educator in a global context. The book also gives concrete examples of international collaborative projects.

The book is edited by Mira Kallio-Tavin and Jouko Pullinen
