Walden #3 oder Das Kind als Medium
Walden #3 or, The Child as Medium
Christiane Mennicke-Schwarz/Ulrich Schötker

The role of school and education is currently being reconsidered and discussed, with significant impulses coming from contemporary art, art education and cultural education. An exhibition presented at Kunsthaus Dresden and the Rathausgalerie Munich explored the question which strategies we require to allow for education in aesthetics in a holistic sense and to give young people competence in visual arts and media, as well as the ability to make their own personal judgements. This volume contains the documentation of the artistic works presented at the exhibition. At the same time it also provides an overview on the development of art education over the last hundred years through a series of essays. Featuring contributions by Ulrich Klemm, Andreas Pehnke, Karl Josef Pazzini and Stephan Dillemuth, among others.
