Glossary of Arts and Education Terms
2007
Every field develops a language of its own which is generally understood by those immersed in that field. In the last twenty years Arts Education has in fact become a field and as such has a vocabulary all its own. This is not to say that those deeply involved in arts education all speak the same language—there are variations and nuances to the terms that can mystify and confound even the most experienced arts educators. But for those who do not have a background in arts education, it can be a veritable Tower of Babel. What is presented here is a basic glossary of terms that are consistently used by educators, artists and researchers and defined as prudently as possible. Hopefully this glossary will provide a comfort level for funders as they pursue opportunities to support arts education.
