This chapter offers the story of art education at Hamidrasha (“the seminary” in Hebrew) Faculty of Arts and Arts Education, a prominent institution for art teacher preparation in Israel. Cohen Evron focuses on the transformative period from the 1960s–1990s, when Hamidrasha pioneered a comprehensive program rooted in studio studies, art history, theory, and art education. She explores innovative art teaching methods rooted in the ideas of Raffi Lavie, a prominent art educator who contributed his unique pedagogical perspective to the form of art education practiced within this institution. These methods were subsequently embraced by influential Israeli artist-teachers who played pivotal roles at Hamidrasha. The chapter examines the integration of these methods within studio courses in teacher-training programs. Two complementary tracks emerged: one centered on training as an art educator, the other emphasizing acquiring the skills and practices of a studio artist. Drawing from a fusion of published essays, unpublished research, and Lavie's decades-long engagement with Hamidrasha, Cohen Evron offers profound insights into the evolution of art education methodologies and influences at this significant Israeli institution.
