TORRES DE ECA, Teresa. From Art for Art's Sake to Art Engaged with Communities: Current Paradigms in Education and Arts. Pensam. palabra obra [online]. 2016, n.16, pp.14-23. ISSN 2011-804X.

In this article we will identify current problems and paradigms of art education. New definitions of culture require new approaches, asking for a more active participation of educational institutions and citizens, not only as cultural consumers but also as producers. Arts have a great role to play in these reforms. In the last years, researchers, artists and art educators from many countries are revisiting art education rationales in terms of digital technology, multimedia communication forms, ecological discourses, as well as new conceptions of multiliteracies are challenging the current fragmented curricular model, seeking instead more holistic and collaborative ways of learning. Arts are not equally present in educational systems across the globe, and in many countries they are marginalized or at most concerned only with artist instruction. Furthermore, universities and practitioners are not often interconnected and this raise problems when it comes to justify the value of the arts in the educational curriculum.
