Within the contents of this paper there are analysis, summaries and a broad over view of the most current issues of professional journals that relate to my personal field of Art Education. I choose to review four journals, two that are relevant to art education: Art Education and Studies in Art Education, while the other two journals pertain to the art profession they are Art in America and Art Forum International. The variety of these diverse journals will not only give a clear picture of present issues in the art classroom they will also allow for examination of a wider spectrum of issues that pertain useful

One of the sections that the Art Education journal provides is the NAEA News. It is a news section, that I found intriguing. It reports events and activities of the Association and the state art education associations, as well as national and state news that affects the profession as a whole. The news section includes reports of art education developments in the divisions such as international, lifelong learning, public policy, minority concerns, the social theory and women’s caucus. It also includes a placement section, grants, Federal and national initiatives, and book reviews. All, in all, I found this section extremely useful. It offered a clear, straight to the point, easy to read format while presenting practical information that is directly relevant and currently affecting the art education field.
