Abstract
We clarified the three stages of the institutional establishment process of art education at Nara University of Education. First stage: All art staffs have moved from Nara Normal School to Nara University of Education. The transition of all staffs is rare nationwide. Nara University of Education was opened under the policy of emphasizing art. Kazuo Sakamoto and Katsuya Mizoguchi were mainly in charge of classes related to art education. Like many universities, there were no teaching staff specializing in art education. Second stage: In February 1964, when the subject allotment ordinance was inaugurated, there were three art-related subjects at the university: painting, sculpture, art theory, and art history. The subjects of art education were started newly in May 1969, and were staffed in September 1945 with the appointment of Toshio Higuchi. Third stage: The Graduate School of Education and the major of Art Education were established in April 1983, which established the institutional foundation of art education at Nara University of Education.
