Visual Arts and Art Education in Zimbabwe Since the 1999 Presidential Commission of Inquiry into Education and Training (CIET) Report

Pages 34-44 | Published online: 06 Jun 2019
 

ABSTRACT

African art education discourse is deeply enshrined in community visual arts and its programming. This article is an analytical narrative documentation of anecdotal historical debate on art education in Zimbabwe. The referential data-based entry provides a historical analysis of the evolution of art education and its programming as a post-CIET phenomenon. The CIET observations provide points of departure for continued debate on achievements and areas requiring further interrogation in art education and community visual arts in Zimbabwe. I conclude by coining a road map for art education in the quest for comparable programming against regional and international best practices.
