Both books are called "<span style="font-weight: 400;">Art Criticism and History of Art</span>", the one on the left is for art teachers (Ed. 1963) and the one on the right for high school students (Ed. 2003). The first has a richer content on history of art, next to Egyptian art it refers to Ancient Syrian, Greek, Coptic, Islamic, <span style="font-weight: 400;">Renaissance</span> and Modern Europan Art (Surrealism and Cubism included), while the second focuses on Anicent and Modern Egyptian art only. Both books depicts Egyptian "folk" art, but the examples in the book on the left are more extensive. The differences found in the books are not related to the different audiences (one written for students, the other for teachers) but rather reflect changing discources in the Ministy of Education in two different periods.</p>Sun, 26 Feb 2017 14:08:34 +0000http://another-roadmap.net/cairo/blog/skimming-through-egyptian-art-education-school-bookshttp://another-roadmap.net/cairo/blog/skimming-through-egyptian-art-education-school-books<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Through out the last three months, we tried to look into the history of the creation of public elementary and higher arts education schools in Egypt. We are doing this through focusing on the establishment of The Egyptian Ornamentations School (which became Faculty of Applied Arts) in the first half of 20th century and the development of art education curriculums in primary schools during the same period. Now, we try also to examine the colonial influence on art education and pedagogies. Our research takes the case of Ramses Wissa Wassef in building his art centre as a model to explore the impact of western ideas on methodologies of teaching art and crafts in Egypt on both the governmental and non-governmental levels.</span></p>Sun, 26 Feb 2017 11:02:05 +0000http://another-roadmap.net/cairo/blog/on-the-history-of-arts-and-crafts-education-in-modern-egypthttp://another-roadmap.net/cairo/blog/on-the-history-of-arts-and-crafts-education-in-modern-egypt
