Abstract
We clarified the three stages of the institutional establishment process of art education at Chiba University of Education. In the first stage, almost all fine arts teachers shifted from normal schools to universities except teacherʼs certification examination passers. Every teacher had common lessons in fine arts instruction. In the second stage, when the subject allotment ordinance was promulgateded in February 1964, there were five art-related subjects at the university: painting, sculpture, composition, art theory, and art history and education. Each subject was quickly staffed, starting with the appointment of Keiichi Mori. In the third stage, with the imminent establishment of the graduate school, Takeo Toda and Mitsuo Chonan moved to the subject of art education. The Graduate School of Education and the Major in Art Education were established in April 1982, which established the institutional foundation of art education at Chiba University of Education.
