2. Arts in/as Education Practice
Deb, it is the thread of arts in/as education practice which rises to the surface in this second group. In these works there is reflection on the work of balancing the roles and relationships between student and educator. An example of how the arts are used in teaching practice toward meeting learning outcomes. Two examples of teaching are demonstrated by creative engagement with the process and content of specific subjects. Finally, an example of how creative responding is used as a teaching tool in doctoral supervision.
When I read these, Stacey, I breathe in the passion and commitment of educators and students bringing themselves present again and again, being willing to be reflexive and reflective, to engage in emergence, to hold lightly, to engage multiple intelligences and modalities, to experiment and experience, to collaborate, and to invite their work to be evocatively tactile.
