Studies in Art Education A Journal of Issues and Research - More Stories and Tales

There are 8 million stories in the naked city

Some ice cold and told without pity

About the mean streets and the ghetto culture

The pimps the pushers the sharks and vultures…

—Blow (1984)

A long time ago, in a land far, far away, an earlier version of me wrote an editorial for another art education journal.In that editorial, I mused about the story of art education as complex and reflective of past and current lives, occasionally written by various authors with contradictory tales to tell (Carpenter,2005). Yet the story of art education is not singular, but rather, it is a collection of stories of people and places, of policies and politics, of ideals and institutions, of cultures and constructs, and of art and education.
