Of considerable importance in Plato and Aristotle’s educational outlook on the arts was Homer’s Iliad. This paper draws out some of the perceived weaknesses and strengths of this epic poem as it relates to the arguments in Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Poetics. I will attempt to do justice to Plato and Aristotle’s differing perspectives on the Iliad and their critique of art educational theory and practice. I will show why two philosophers with very different thinking on art education can still significantly affect art teaching practice today.

Este texto abordará algumas experimentações que temos realizado no Ensino Superior com as turmas de graduação e também com turmas de pós-graduação. Nosso desafio tem sido: como fazer um revezamento entre teoria e prática de maneira a que essas instâncias não aconteçam de formas separadas? Para tanto, temos procurado sobrepô-las de modo a que aconteçam concomitantemente. Essas experimentações têm se dado na forma de elaborar os projetos de estágio e nas próprias aulas de estágio curricular supervisionado, onde os professores em formação assumem uma turma na escola ou em outro espaço educativo. Igualmente no que se refere aos procedimentos de fazer pesquisa, procura-se que a dissertação e a tese também sejam operadas a partir deste revezamento e concomitância. Para a realização desta escrita empreendeu-se um estudo teórico-conceitual de cunho bibliográfico em autores filiados nas bases teóricas das filosofias da diferença. Desse modo, buscou-se a despersonalização dos autores para falar de uma vida que é escrita por atravessamentos e encontros, ou seja, pensar a vida como a própria elaboração do texto, uma escrita biografemática, seguindo a proposta de Roland Barthes. Assim fomos compondo, com o vivido, com as leituras, as falas nos encontros e as visualidades, os apontamentos, e a partir dessa materialidade é que ensaiamos esse texto.Palavras-chave: Filosofias da diferença; Ensino da arte; Biografemática; Educação ABSTRACTThis text will approach some experimentations we have developed in higher education with groups of undergraduate and graduate students. Our challenge has been: how to alternate theory and practice in a way that these instances do not happen apart from each other? To do so, we have sought to overlap them so that they happen concomitantly. These experimentations have occurred as elaborations of practice projects, in the classes of the supervised teaching practice, where teacher candidates are responsible for a school group or other. Equally, as far as research procedures are concerned, Master’s dissertations and PhD theses are also operated through this alternation and concomitance. To the accomplishment of this writing, a theoretical-conceptual bibliographic study has been developed with authors aligned with the theoretical basis of the philosophies of difference. Hence, we sought for the depersonalization of authors to speak of a life written by crossings and encounters, i.e. to think life as the very own elaboration of text, a biographematic writing, as Roland Barthes proposes. This way we started composing, with the experienced, the readings, the speeches in the encounters and the visualities, the notes, and through this materiality we wrote this text.Keywords: Philosophies of difference; Art teaching; Biographematics; Education

In China, with the rapid economic development and the general improvement of people's quality, the traditional mode of art education has been unable to meet the needs of social development. The outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan calls for building a high-quality education system and promoting the modernization of education. In the process of vigorously promoting the new curriculum reform, with the overall educational goal of cultivating students' "core qualities" and promoting people's all-round development, China has introduced advanced western educational concepts in the aspect of fine arts education and adopted corresponding measures to reform China's fine arts education. This article discusses the influence of "Art Teaching Guide" written by American professors Mike Parks and John Cesca on Chinese art education philosophy, teaching practice and art teacher education. Finally, combining with the actual situation of Chinese art education, the author expresses some thoughts and hopes about the content of this book.

This chapter surveys the history of classical Greek drama productions at the Department of Theatre Arts of Tel Aviv University as the basis for an exploration of the issue of theatre and art education. By analysing the students’ approach to classical Greek drama, we can see how they deal with the interpretative reading, translation, and performance of such texts on stage. We also see how the ancient works invite the students to delve more deeply into their distinctive content and forms; to draw links between theory and practice, and between text and context; to gain a deeper understanding of the issues of style and styling; and to engage in a richer experimentation with various aspects of stage performance—such as pronunciation, diction, voice, movement, music, and mise-en-scène.

With the rapid development of computer and network technology, the application of mobile app has been involved in all walks of life, especially the traditional art teaching mode. Therefore, it is of great significance to design an app with art learning and education as the main content based on the concept of young people's cognitive psychology and art training. This paper first analyzes the current situation and development trend of art education app at home and abroad, then analyzes and studies the design and application needs of education app at home, clarifies the needs of students and teachers, analyzes the visual and psychological characteristics of teenagers and their impact on interface and interaction design, and finally designs an art education app that meets the domestic needs. The results show that the app can enhance the interest of young people in art learning.

This essay introduces and examines aspects of the theological aesthetics of contemporary Canadian artist, Michael D. O’Brien (1948–). It also considers how his philosophy of the arts informs understandings of the Catholic imagination. In so doing, it focuses on his view that prayer is the primary source of imaginative expression, allowing the artist to operate from a position of humble receptivity to the transcendent. O’Brien studies is a nascent field, owing much of its development in recent years to the pioneering work of Clemens Cavallin. Apart from Cavallin, few scholars have focused on O’Brien’s extensive collection of paintings (principally because the first catalogue of his art was only published in 2019). Instead, they have worked on his prodigious output of novels and essays. In prioritising O’Brien’s paintings, this study will assess the relationship between his theological reflections on the Catholic imagination and art practice. By focusing on the interface between theory and practice in O’Brien’s art, this article shows that conversations about the philosophy of the Catholic imagination benefit from attending to the inner standing points of contemporary artists who see in the arts a place where faith and praxis meet. In certain instances, I will include images of O’Brien’s devotional art to further illustrate his contemplative, Christ-centred approach to aesthetics. Overall, this study offers new directions in O’Brien studies and scholarship on the philosophy of the Catholic imagination.

This is a great effort to summarize bright ideas about educational theory and practice, especially English language education and teaching, during the COVID-19 pandemic. This anthology book will be very useful for teachers, lecturers, students, and education practitioners, especially language education, to gain experience that can be directly practiced in online, face-to-face classes, or a combination of online and faceto-face. Hopefully, this small effort that has great benefits can be continued by IELA (Indonesian English Lecturer Association) in particular and seminar organizers in general to produce important writings containing theoretical and practical ideas that are useful for the advancement of education, especially language education in Indonesia. By sharing this knowledge and experience, we can transfer these smart ideas to fellow teachers and lecturers, researchers, and practitioners to be able to solve some teaching problems with this solution.
