Abstract
This article explores several dimensions of the role of arts education in processes of social change: It addresses the power of art as a voice of dissent at the core of a critical revolutionary pedagogy that is deeply relevant and transformative toward a socially just, democratic, and existentially responsible educational aesthetic. Of particular interest are the possibilities for creating an emancipatory pedagogy that scaffolds actively transformative teaching and learning and deepens understanding of education as an aesthetic experience based in social responsibility. Green art as an expression of ecojustice is explored as a potential space for a profound and revolutionary educational aesthetic. While focused on the potential for an educational aesthetic that is transformative and productive in terms of ecojustice, it is simultaneously an exploration of an aesthetics of discovery of the qualities of love and joy to be experienced in nature.
