Welcome to the North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts

NTIEVA's mission is to conduct research and staff development in the implementation of discipline-based art education (DBAE). DBAE is a comprehensive approach to learning in art that centers instruction on works of art and derives content from four foundational art disciplines that contribute to the creation, understanding and appreciation of art: art production, art history, art criticism and aesthetics. NTIEVA provides extensive training in the theory and implementation of discipline-based art education for school district teams comprised of art specialists, art supervisors, classroom teachers, principals, superintendents and school board members, as well as for museum educators and docents. Consortium members of NTIEVA include the Amon Carter Museum, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Meadows Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the University of North Texas, the Greater Denton Arts Council, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the independent school districts of Denton, Fort Worth, Hurst-Euless-Bedford, Pilot Point, and Plano.
