Education
Bryna’s research has been published in Journal of Museum Education, Art Education: Journal of the National Art Education Association and Australian Art Education as well as other publications. In 2017, she co-edited with Dr. Leigh Hersey, Handbook of Research on the Facilitation of Civic Engagement through Community Art. The book explores the numerous ways that the arts can encourage civic engagement. It is a comprehensive reference source for emerging perspectives on the incorporation of artistic works to facilitate improved civic engagement.
Responding to the challenge to care: Suggestions for art education curricula
In this article, the authors speculate on the role that art education might play in fostering caring relationships and experiences for children. Inspired by the work of Nel Noddings, the authors offer suggestions for developing a caring approach to art education curricula. The article introduces strategies that are generally congruent with Noddings’ concept of relational ethics and that include the use of (a) instructional units based on selected themes of care, (b) cooperative art activities, and (c) the willingness of teachers to adopt caring personas in their art classrooms.
