CSEA/SCÉA Call for student and teacher artworks
Celebrating 2020 UNESCO International Arts Education Week
Dear friends,
The Canadian Society for Education through Art (CSEA/SCÉA) would like to invite you to join us in celebrating the 2020 UNESCO International Arts Education Week (May 25-31, 2020). (http://www.unesco.org/new/en/culture/themes/creativity/arts-education/) This event is endorsed by the International Society for Education through Art (InSEA). Artworks submitted to CSEA/SCÉA will also be exhibited at InSEA social media platforms!
Theme: Being Radical!
If we have solutions, our intention is not to dictate them. If we have answers, our intention is not to impose them. We want to be radical in the way we make actions. Art education blurs and vanishes when we forget that its core is the artistic action. In educational contexts, we have too often turned artistic practice into an adjective. At other times we have transformed it into a goal or another complement. Artistic practice is educational per se. The artistic action serves on the same dish the content and the form in which content is shaped; and that’s why its action is doubly effective. https://www.inseabaeza2020.com/let-s-be-radical

Appel de la CSEA/SCÉA pour la soumission d’œuvres d’art d’étudiants et d’enseignants
Célébration de la Semaine internationale de l’éducation artistique 2020 de l’UNESCO
Chères amies et chers amis,
La Société canadienne d’éducation par l’art (CSEA/SCÉA) vous invite à célébrer la Semaine internationale de l’éducation artistique 2020 de l’UNESCO (25 au 31 mai 2020). (http://www.unesco.org/new/fr/culture/themes/creativity/arts-education/). Cet événement est parrainé par l’InSEA (Société internationale pour l’éducation par l’art). Les œuvres d’art soumises à la CSEA/SCÉA seront aussi diffusées sur les plateformes des médias sociaux de l’InSEA !
Thématique : Être radical !
Il ne s’agit pas d’imposer nos solutions ou nos réponses potentielles. Nous voulons nous montrer radicaux par le biais de nos actions. L’éducation artistique devient floue et s’estompe lorsque nous oublions que l’action artistique est sa véritable essence. Dans un contexte pédagogique, nous avons trop souvent fait de la pratique artistique un adjectif. En d’autres occasions nous en avons fait un objectif ou autre complément. La pratique artistique est éducative en soi. L’action artistique englobe à la fois le contenu et la forme qui moule ledit contenu, ce qui en fait un geste doublement efficace. https://www.inseabaeza2020.com/let-s-be-radical
Sites en ligne de l’exposition :
Demande de soumission d’œuvres d’art :
- Qui: étudiants canadiens et éducateurs artistiques canadiens des secteurs public et privé qui soumettent aussi des travaux d’étudiants. [Tous les enseignants qui soumettent des œuvres d’art (les leurs ou celles d’étudiants) doivent être membres de la CSEA/SCÉA. Vous pouvez devenir membre à l’adresse https://csea-scea.ca/1394-2/]
- Quand : d’aujourd’hui au 15 mai 2020
- Quoi: format : images numériques (œuvres d’art, travaux d’étudiants, affiches), vidéos (musique, vidéoclips).
- Remarque: veuillez soumettre images fixes ou liens vidéo accompagnés du formulaire de soumission à cseaaew2020@gmail.com.
- Veuillez soumettre les images sous forme de fichiers JPEG et les vidéos sous forme de liens Web.
- Où : date de l’exposition en ligne : du 25 au 31 mai 2020
Certification :
- Un certificat de participation de format PDF sera remis par courriel à tous les enseignants et les artistes participants au terme de l’événement.
Pour plus de renseignements, veuillez consulter le site :
Travaux et œuvres seront exposés numériquement pendant la Semaine internationale de l’éducation artistique de l’UNESCO (25 au 31 mai 2020) et lors de la Conférence annuelle de la CSEA/SCÉA d’Ottawa, du 15 au 17 octobre 2020, ainsi que par la suite sur les sites Web de la CSEA/SCÉA et de l’InSEA.

Dr Carl Leggo (1953-2019)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr Carl Leggo on March 7th, 2019. The CSEA/SCEA sends sincere condolences to his family, friends, students and colleagues. His influence and knowledge will reverberate through our halls infinitely.
Originally from Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Carl was an accomplished poet and scholar. A professor in the Department of Language and Literacy Education at the University of British Columbia, he was renowned for his dedication to living poetically.
His research pursuits included: life writing, a/r/tography, narrative inquiry, poetic inquiry, creative writing, contemplative practices, and arts-based research. He will be sorely missed.

Artwork Histories: Transnational Perspectives in Art Education (Working Title)
Dustin Garnet (California State University, Los Angeles)
& Anita Sinner (Concordia University)
Art education holds an important role in promoting historical awareness of the multiple relations that connect pedagogic inquiry with culture, heritage, place and identity, locally and globally. In our ongoing efforts to keep step with the movements of art and society, we believe art education requires more inclusive and holistic versions of history from transnational perspectives that break down barriers and cross borders in the pursuit of more informed and diverse understandings of the field.
Inspired by Munslow (2010), we invite submissions that adapt an approach of ‘artwork histories’ to explore the legacies of art education as an anticipatory mode of historical thinking and practice across the arts and across sites of learning. Acclaimed historian Hayden White (1973) described history as “a narrative discourse the content of which is as much imagined as found” (p. 82). Artwork Histories offers an opportunity for authentic engagement and intellectual risk, which includes the rejection of ‘correct’ interpretations of historical problems. As active agents, art education historians are not passive collectors of the past, but engaged in new ways of doing history predicated on cultivating stories that move beyond representation to attend to aesthetic dimensions that bridge historiography, material culture, oral history, art history, and teacher education. This edited collection will provide an interpretation of ‘historical thinking and historical consciousness’ (Seixas, 2017) through the interrelations of time (past, present, future) and space (geographic location, orientation, connectivity beyond borders) as we move towards what Seixas describes as coherent and interwoven historical approaches in an effort to provoke critical and creative practices in education.
We seek research that conceptualizes the entanglements of historical research in art education in a globalized society (Knudsen & Gram-Skjoldager, 2014; Larson, 2018). We encourage proposals that explore linkages and flows that shift from the nation-state to transnational actors: individuals, communities, institutions, and/or organizations. Five strands weave this collection, with a host of potential subject areas, including but not limited to the following:
- Emergent Historical Approaches (methodological fluidity, epistemological deliberations, conceptualising transdisciplinary, limits of historical inquiry)
- People in Relation to Art Education (issues, events, memory studies and/or first-person accounts of war, trauma, social justice, LGBTQ+, dis/ability as new forms of belonging)
- Studies of Places and Things (object-biographies, architecture, spatial design, universal design, and archives)
- Communities of Art Education (socially-engaged art, artist collaborations, collectives, interrogating national art education narratives)
- Institutions and Organizations (universities, museums, schools, community associations)
We welcome essays that bring forward anticipatory modes of thinking and practice, as well as multiple forms of archival research, and creative renderings of historical research, such as stories, visual essays, poetic expression and more.
Please send a chapter proposal of 500 words, identifying the topic area of your chapter, along with select references and brief bios of authors (50 words) by December 1st, 2018 to dustin.garnet@calstatela.edu and anita.sinner@concordia.ca.
Invitations to submit full chapters will be sent out January 2019.

President’s Message – September 2018
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome back!! I hope this email finds you well-rested and recharged as we start off another school year. The summer seems to fly by faster and faster each year and before you know it, we’re back in our classrooms with a new group of students eager to get their hands dirty with new art projects and assignments.
In this President’s Message, I would like to begin with updates on the InSEA conference approaching quickly, next July 9-13, 2019. CSEA/SCÉA will not be holding its own conference in 2019, but instead, we are a partner with the larger InSEA (International Society for Education through Art) conference that will be held at the University of British Columbia, in the beautiful city of Vancouver. Conference Co-Chairs Rita Irwin and Kit Grauer have been busily working with their conference committee, including CSEA/SCÉA’s executive member Sandrine Han, on what is looking like an Art Education event not to be missed! With InSEA being a global organization, Canada will have the honour to welcome Art Education delegates visiting from countries around the world! Be sure to be part of this memorable event!
Are you interested in presenting your research or latest classroom success stories to an international audience? InSEA conference presentation proposals are currently being accepted! The deadline for proposals is Fri. Sept. 15, 2018. Information on conference presentation proposals can be found at the following link: https://www.insea2019.org/ A variety of presentation formats are available so please take a look at the site and see if something catches your eye and fits with what you would like to share with fellow colleagues.
Looking for a place to stay while you are at the InSEA conference next July? The conference accommodation website is now open and bookings can be made at the following link: https://www.insea2019.org/accommodationregistration/ Make reservations early as on-site UBC accommodations will be sold out. We don’t want you to be disappointed!
On another note, are you interested in submitting an article or sharing photographs and a story of a recent classroom art project? April Mandrona, our Editor of the Canadian Art Teacher, is always looking for articles for upcoming issues. Information on publishing in CAT can be found at the following link: https://csea-scea.ca/canadian-art-teacher/ Keep your eyes open for the next issue to be delivered to your mailbox later this fall.
The Canadian Review of Art Education, our annual publication of scholarly articles, edited by Heather McLeod, will also be coming out later this fall, with an issue focused on Art and the Poetic. Notification of CRAE’s next available digital issue will be sent via email in the coming months.
Closing off this President’s Message, I would like to wish you all a successful and productive fall term!!
All the best,
Peter Vietgen, PhD – President, CSEA/SCÉA

President’s Message April 2016
Dear Colleagues,
Happy Spring to you all! I hope this latest President’s Message finds you well and that 2016 has been a good year for you so far! I have many updates to share with you about a number of CSEA/SCÉA initiatives as well as acknowledgement of a number of success stories celebrating a few of our members.
New Logo & Website Design– We are very thrilled to announce that we will be launching our new CSEA/SCÉA logo and website in the next few weeks! One of the top suggestions we received at our Members’ Forum last October, in Montreal, was to revamp our identity – our logo and our website – and it’s coming!! Many thanks go out to Paul Syme, our Director of Digital Communications, who since last November, has been working in tandem with a website designer in developing a new, streamlined, and eye-catching logo and website to give our national art education organization a stronger, more visually appealing on-line presence. We hope you like our new image and look forward to hearing your feedback!
