Abstract
This paper elucidates the establishment of art education at the Osaka Kyoiku University. Art teachers employed at four normal schools move to the university, and they insisted on art education based on practical art skills. Like many universities, there were no specialists in art pedagogy. And five basic art-related subjects, offered in teacher training colleges and faculties in February 1964. In April of the same year, Keitoku Minoru joined as an art teacher at the University and was advised to accumulate practical art skills by elder teachers. In 1968, the Osaka Kyoiku University establish a graduate school of education. Due to dissension with the academicisation of art by practical art teachers, the establishment of an art education major was delayed. However, through Keitokuʼs efforts, that major established. Its own art education research centered on contemporary art theory, rather than practical art skills, and produced many art education researchers.
