Visual Arts Education, Arts Education, Aesthetic Education, Pedagogy of Art(s)? : Naming the Scientific Discipline Dealing With Aesthetic Experiences in the Fields of Education of Today

• Our discipline focuses the pedagogical dealing with aesthetic experiences in the fields of education in the society of today. In scientific regards, this means to take in an individual-specific, as well as a sociological perspective. In my contribution, I will cipher out aesthetic experiences in education from the body-phenomenological perspective introduced by Maurice Merleau-Ponty. However, I will begin with the reference to Jan van Dijk´s (1991) mediologic concept of the “network society”. Then, I will discursively ask the questions, how the keystones of Nordic Visual Arts Education of 2008 can be discussed today and how their reference to European and global respectively UNESCO initiatives can be modelled.
