Current Trends in Theory and Scholarship
The domain of art education is broadening to include a wider range of visual and popular culture. Current trends in scholarship employ postmodern and visual culture approaches to art education, consider effects of globalism on the production and interpretation of images and focus renewed interest on issues of creativity. Within the NAEA, research and publications are being geared toward issues of learning, community, advocacy, research and knowledge.
Art education programs at major research institutions that are addressing these trends in the United States include:
- Florida State University
- Indiana University, Bloomington
- Northern Illinois University
- Ohio State University
- Pennsylvania State University
- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Western Carolina University

Famous quotes containing the words current, trends, theory and/or scholarship:
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

Peace is threatened by those who seek selfish power.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Psychotherapy—The theory that the patient will probably get well anyway, and is certainly a damned ijjit.”
