Journal overview

Art Education, the official journal of the National Art Education Association (NAEA), covers a diverse range of topics dealing with subjects of professional interest to art educators. It is published bi-monthly in full-color, and each issue features an Instructional Resource section—making Art Education a great addition to every teacher's reference library.

This refereed journal maintains and supports the mission of the National Art Education Association—to advance visual arts education to fulfill human potential and promote global understanding—and provides for the NAEA membership a compendium that addresses the broad range of needs and interests particularly related to translating theory and research into practice.

Manuscripts are welcome at all times and on any aspect of art or design education. Please send files prepared in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Author Guidelines found here.
