Journal’s history and profile

 

The journal “Studia de Arte et Educatione” is dedicated primarily to visual arts in the context of art education. The journal also covers  related fields, opening up to interdisciplinary discussion regarding the problems of contemporary humanities. 

This annal specializes in monographic numbers. The first three volumes the relationship between art and education. The fourth one dealt with the expertise of an artist-teacher operating in various fields and areas of art (practical knowledge and creator’s experience were used). The following two numbers focused on the relationship between the word and image in the education process. The next volume concerned the identity of artwork and the identification of communities and individuals, who pose a challenge to both artists and teachers. Reflection on the diversity of the media used in art and teaching covered in a separate number alluded to the issue of setting discipline boundaries and had particular implications for creating new majors: Digital Design and Art and Media Studies. The presentation of Polish authors who teach art as well as culture animators in the next volume coincided with the opening of a new degree course: socio-cultural animation, which was a reminder of the need for role models both for teachers and learners. Commonly controversial concepts, terms, or examples of creative works are discussed in the issue dedicated to current problems of art critique, social, public, or engaged arts. The next issue dealt with the possibility of treating works of art as a research tool, once again tackling the identity problem of genres and works, this time in relation to visual culture and cognitive studies. The newest releases successively discussed visual culture understood as a discursive element of public space, the problem of absence in works of modern art, and the commonly understood problem of error in visual arts.

Ever since its creation, the journal has published works of distinguished scholars, as well as young researchers and affiliated authors working in scientific institutions both domestically and abroad, representing the history of art, aesthetics, philosophy, pedagogy, and other areas of humanities.
