Wicked Arts Education Designing Creative Programmes

Wicked Arts Education helps you to design exciting arts educational programmes from scratch. These arts programmes make a meaningful connection between the culture of the student, the arts, and society. We have tested our arts educational design strategies around the world and found that they challenge arts educators to explore curriculum ideas collectively, creatively and productively.

In a time of individualization and polarization, we believe in the power of learning collectively about, in, and through the arts. Although Wicked Arts Education can be used to create personalized learning trajectories, it advocates building learning communities in which students and teachers share interests, expertise, and opinions.

Wicked Arts Education can be used in a variety of educational contexts: from primary to higher education, and for arts curricula inside and beyond schools. The term ‘arts’ underlines that this workbook is suitable for the visual arts, music, dance, theatre, film or design, but also for designing interdisciplinary arts projects and courses. So, whether you are an arts teacher, an artist, or a curriculum designer, or if you want to set up a single lesson or a complete arts curriculum, this book is for you!
