Images and Identity

Images and Identity examines how working with contemporary art in classrooms can inspire students to reflect on issues of personal and cultural identity. Highlighting the ways that digital media can be used in interdisciplinary curricula, this edited collection brings together ideas from art and citizenship teachers in the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, Malta, Portugal and the UK on producing online curriculum materials. This book offers a practical strategy for ways that these different subjects can be combined and taught. The first part of the book explores issues of art and citizenship education within a European context, while the second part contains case studies of curriculum experiments that can be applied to global classrooms. It will be of great interest to students and teachers of art and citizenship education.
