Abstract	Throughout the year, students of Contemporary Issues and the Visual Arts class, an interdisciplinary course for high school juniors and seniors at a large Canadian suburban high school, devised and created a number of individual and collective artistic investigations and creative cultural interventions, both within the classroom and the larger school community, which addressed and examined contemporary social issues. This article describes how art education was made more than just simply the production of artistic objects by developing social issue-themed projects and introducing students to socially engaged artists whose work is concerned with cultural examination and social transformation. Focusing the curriculum around the visual cultures of students' everyday lives, engaging them directly in the planning, teaching and evaluation processes, and connecting visual culture and artists to larger social and cultural issues are all critical components of producing a meaningful art education for students.
