Call for Abstracts for a New Anthology

"Teaching Asian Art: Content, Context, and Pedagogy"

Edited by Sheng Kuan Chung

This upcoming anthology published by the National Art Education Association will introduce American art teachers and students to Asian artistic practices and traditions (for example, paintings, graphic arts, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and other artistic traditions) from, but not limited to, the following Asian cultural locations: Burma, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet, and Vietnam. The anthology will be a collection of practical examples of lessons emphasizing contextual approaches to exploring and teaching Asian art at the K-12 level.

To ensure the anthology's structural consistency, interested authors will be asked to submit a one-page abstract electronically that summarizes the following components:

* The particular Asian artistic tradition that you intend to explore, its historical and cultural origins, and artistic form (for example, materials, media, methods, and/or processes).

* The specific context of this artistic tradition in terms of its biographical, aesthetic, social, cultural, religious, spiritual, philosophical, and/or historical importance to the people in the cultural location in which it is practiced.

* The cross-cultural significance of this artistic tradition and an age-appropriate, culturally sensitive art lesson for American K-12 art students (please define a grade level) inspired by this artistic tradition.

* In the last paragraph, please summarize how and what American students would benefit from learning about this artistic tradition culturally, socially, and/or philosophically.

Authors who either are cultural insiders (Asian natives) of or have first-hand knowledge concerning respective Asian artistic traditions are encouraged to contribute to this anthology from their respective regional standpoints. If your proposal is accepted, your chapter should be between 3,500 -4,000 words with photographs/illustrations. Photographs are necessary to illustrate an art form that may be unfamiliar to American readers. Authors will be provided with appropriate copyright release forms. Please submit your one-page abstracts electronically along with an image attachment that illustrates the explored artistic tradition to Sheng Kuan Chung at [email protected]

DEADLINE for abstracts: August 31, 2008.
