Abstract
Although many practical studies on incorporating contemporary art into art education, and on its usefulness or forms of expression exist, these studies have different objectives. Therefore, here, we will analyse papers that deal specifically with the incorporation of contemporary art into art education in Japan, organise the relevant accumulated research, and report on trends and issues. Regarding the method and scope of gathering literature on this subject, we searched the academic information database Cinii, targeting the period 1958-2017. We identified the relevant literature using the keywords ‘contemporary art’ and ‘education’, and found 100 papers on this topic. These papers were categorised according to period, subject, theme, and the issues investigated.
