Abstract

Students learn about relationships, form social groups, and interact with peers in and through visual culture. This chapter is a discussion of the range of visual arts learning, from the development of art skills and concepts to learning about social aspects of art and design, that occurs in visual culture learning communities and the particular conditions and effects of visual culture that support niche communities tied to adolescents’ and young adults’ artistic and social interests. In this chapter, the author theorizes about ways that visual culture supports online niche communities and characteristics of art and design education that sustain communal life.
