From the citizen child to the artist child, childhood policies today
Recognizing the child in his or her identity and difference constitutes one of the major problems confronting childhood policies today. Since art education devices have an increasingly significant place in childhood policies, they are pertinent for studying the changes in the definition of childhood within our democratic societies. In order to understand what policies about childhood say concerning it, we propose to study the meeting together of childhood and art in educational settings from several angles : the child-artist encounter, the child’s subjective speech in art, what art contributes to schools and the place of artistic references in classes.
