This article provides an overview of a secondary art education methods course developed in response to a variety of educational directives and movements in the fields of art, education, art education, and design. Within each unit of study in this course, students engage in four learning environments--studio, information design, planning, and electronic. The author advocates for their use in the contemporary art classroom to expand notions of how learning environments can be implemented in K-12 art education, or any subject area or level of education. These four environments are of relevance to instructional methods, instructional strategies, and learning principles (Manley Delacruz, 1997), the use of new technologies in the classroom (Gregory, 1997), and the preparation of teachers (Day, 1997; Yakel, 1992). This article is not about what to teach, but how to expand learning. In doing so, the "range" of learning experiences available to K-12 students will also expand.
