This subject examines through practice, discussion and associated reading, participating students’ beliefs concerning the relationship and associated tensions of being an artist and being a teacher. As a key outcome of this subject, students will engage in a personal artistic exercise, resulting in produced work or work-in-progress, as a method for exploring this issue.While this subject is designed to accommodate all art forms, it is intended that this process be supported by an arts-specific cohort of students within this subject.Students’ artistic endeavours, and associated dialogue, will be documented and analysed through an action-research/reflective practice process, with students’ art or performance making analysed within the class and through regular contributions to an on-line discussion forum generating a community of practice.
Students will exhibit or present live their artwork/s or performance/s as a finished work or work-in-progress, with an accompanying exegesis. The exegesis is intended to extrapolate the educational implications of this personal process, which could include its impact on participants’ teaching, how their artistic practice influences the learning of their own students, or the role of personal artistic processes on a participant’s well-being as an educator.
Intended learning outcomes
The students will:
- develop an understanding of the processes and skills involved in art-making and articulate that understanding using the principles of reflective practice;
- produce an art-work (visual or performance based) or work-in-progress, together with a coherent analysis of its creation;
- understand the relationship including the tensions between art-making and teaching, and be able to form the beginnings of an artistic pedagogy;
- have a basic understanding of the aesthetics of teaching and how to create an aesthetic, dialogic and performative educational context.
Generic skills
- Creative and critical observational and thinking skills;
- Presentational and performative dialogic and written communication skills;
- Ability to synthesise personal experience with reading and critical analysis into other contexts eg pedagogy, design, aesthetics or principles of artistic production.
