Is there a focus on any particular medium of the Visual Arts in Iceland? Here, we have such a variety in the Studio Arts that many things fall into this category.
It depends what you mean...in primary school, the teachers work with there own methods (medium) in context to the curriculum. In the Art University it´s all open and students work in the medium they want to work in (In the Iceland Academy of the Arts). Artists in Iceland use all the different medium, depending what suits them. No particular medium is more in focus than other...in one way but there is a great focus on the concept art today...more than aesthetic ones
this is a blog to allow US art education students and Icelandic arts education students to dialog about the state of art education in their respective countries

Thanks. It sounds like we are the same. With art there are so many choices, it difficult to choose just one.
