Why is it important?

A reflection about art education possibilities and the need for collaboration.

Perspectives

As art teachers and educational researchers we may seek transformation tools, and the collective intelligence arising from these groups may bring us a rich array of possibilities to inform our pedagogical and artistic interconnected fields. From a networking point of view, visibility, dialogue and action are emerging possibilities for pedagogic/artistic real actions. The future strengths or weakness of arts education will depend on the actions behind these groups, on the way they circulated among the Internet and produce physical impact in different geographical and cultural sites.
