An editorial by Kit Grauer introduces this collection of articles which establish that there is no such thing as a simple definition of art education even within one culture, and that people's views can be reflected by art educators across the world. The first article, "A Window on Three Singapore Art Classrooms" (Jane Chia; John Matthews; Paul O'Shea), provides a view of art education in a nursery school, a primary classroom, and a special Art Elective Program at the secondary level in Singapore. The plight of art as a second class subject at the elementary level and the problems and difficulties of the educators echo a common familiarity. "A Classroom in OZ" (Chris Parmenter), looks at art in two secondary classrooms in Australia. "A Look Over the Diversity" (Mirian Celeste Martins), describes the use of three philosophical and pedagogical orientations at work in Brazilian elementary art classrooms. Other articles discuss: "A Personal Window into an Art Class in Budapest" (Istvan Bodoczky); "'A Funny Jungle Gym': In the Front Line of Japan's New Policy for Individualization" (Toshio Naoe); "American Arts Education in Elementary Schools: Craft, Child Art, and Fine Art" (Liora Bresler); and "A Day in the Life of an Elementary Art Specialist in Rural Midwestern America" (Leah H. Morgan). The articles are followed by reports and news from the International Society for Education Through Art (INSEA) members of various world regions. (MM)
