Art Education Areas of Expertise
Clayton Funk's history of education is really a study of the histories of learning and the construction of agencies that transmit culture across the generations (to paraphrase Bernard Bailyn.) His research in history and art education tends to be focused on the 19th and 20th centuries, in North America, particulary between 1890 and 1940 and stresses the fit of the history of education within strains of cultural, social, and material cultural history. Therefore, the value of histories of educational thought and schools is as important as that of school buildings, technology, and what they imply about the cultures we value. These histories reveal webs of learning filters, learning ways, and learning machines. Ideas that were once emblemized in stone are now fabricated into electronic pulses, here and gone in seconds. Funk has published articles, book chapters, and book reviews on the history of education technology in the first half of the 20th century. His book, Contemporary Art Culture, was released in 2007. In the studio, he works in fibers and wood, in addition to web design and programming. Education
