En la primera parte de este artículo me baso en la expresión de Marshall McLuhan “el medio es el mensaje” con el fin de entender las prácticas y discursos atuñes de la educación artística en la enseñanza secundaria en Escocia. Así, en la segunda parte me dirijo a recoger, las muchas iniciativas que están empezando a señalar de manera positiva hacia una nueva era para la educación artística en la enseñanza secundaria en Escocia – se percibe un superior crecimiento en la selección de materias como Fotografía, tal como se muestra en la Tabla 1.0, que es un ejemplo de una de las iniciativas que se están llevando a cabo. El centro de esta observación es la comprensión de que si se cambia el medio cambia de alguna manera el mensaje, lo que permite nuevos discursos y nuevas prácticas artísticas y de educación.
Mapping and Forecasting the Change Agenda in Scottish Art and Design Education
In part one of this paper I draw on Marshall McLuhan’s now infamous idiom ‘the medium is the message’ in order to help capture current art and design educational discourses and practices in Scottish secondary education. I then move in part two to capture the many initiatives that are beginning to point so positively towards a new era for Scottish secondary art and design education- the growth in uptake in Higher* photography as illustrated in Table 1.0 is an example of one such initiative. Central to this observation is the realisation that if you change the medium you somehow change the message thus allowing new discourses and new art and design practices to emerge.
