Chef's kiss for 'Wicked Arts Education'

Art educator in need of inspiration? Look no further. Wicked Arts Education: Designing Creative Programmes is here! Brought to us by the team behind the 2021 pedagogical blockbuster Wicked Arts Assignments: Practising Creativity in Contemporary Arts Education, this new book stresses meaningful connection between the culture of the student, the arts and society and it's appropriate for primary to higher education. ⁠”Where the book Wicked Arts Assignments presented a loose collection of arts educational recipes, Wicked Arts Education is a full-blown contemporary arts educational cookbook,” the authors writes. “And yes, culinary metaphors do seem to be accurate with regard to arts educational curriculum design: Wicked Arts Education helps you to create exciting arts educational eating experiences, consisting of varied dishes in a coherent menu. Rather than settling for cookie cutter art or artistic fast food, this workbook stimulates you to cook curricula that are experienced as fresh, tailor-made and satisfying. And finally, Wicked Arts Education supports you to cater to your guests’ preferences, acknowledging dietary preferences, restrictions or allergies.”
