RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Acuff, Joni BoydYR 2013 T1 Discursive underground: Re-transcribing the history of art education using critical multicultural education JF Visual Inquiry, VO 2 IS 3 SP 219 OP 231 DO https://doi.org/10.1386/vi.2.3.219_1 PB Intellect, SN 2045-5887, AB Abstract This article proposes the application of three primary tenets of critical multicultural education to assist art educators in re-conceptualizing myopic histories of art education currently dominating the field. Traditionally, voices of those from non-dominant groups have rested on the outskirts of most American art education historical narratives. Critical multicultural education provides an alternative framework as it examines the subjugation of certain non-dominant cultural knowledge and voices. Critical multicultural education re-directs investigations of power as it relates to culture construction and maintenance, knowledge creation and culture fluidity. The objective of this article is to challenge art educators to re-evaluate firmly established historical ‘truths’, and encourage them to recognize a broader audience of voices in order to articulate the cultural complexity of the history of art education., UL https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/vi.2.3.219_1
