Abstract :
This paper begins by defining globalisation and
discussing the major issues that globalisation
raises in the cultural sphere. This includes the
relationships of global culture to national and
local cultures, the disorientation caused by the
compression of time and space, the characterisation
of global culture as Americanisation, and
the consumer orientation of global culture. The
paper then examines the ways in which art
education can contribute to these changing
social dynamics. These include a celebration of
place, addressing heritage and tourist issues,
creating hybrid works, discussing commercial
choices, examining one-world images, and
creating with one-world technologies.
