- Summary:
- "When modern primary schools were first founded in Japan and Egypt in the 1870s, they did not teach art. By the middle of the twentieth century, art education was a permanent part of Japanese and Egyptian primary schooling. Both countries taught music and drawing, and wartime Japan also taught calligraphy. Why did art education become a core feature of schooling in societies as distant as Japan and Egypt, and how is aesthetics entangled with nationalism, colonialism, and empire"-- Provided by publisher.
