Teachers Who Create, Artists Who Teach

Abstract

Art education students who become art teachers are, for the most part, educated first as artists and second as art educators. Given this dual education, there is some evidence to suggest that they may experience contradictions in their career development that seriously impact the construction of their professional role and identity as artists and art teachers. This case study, based on in‐depth interviews, reveals the ways in which a select group of art education students and K‐12 public school art teachers make meaning of their professional aspirations and career identity. This paper focuses on the part of the study that examines to what extent art teachers believe that they must engage in creative production in order to teach others to do so.

Meanwhile, the current format of art appreciation courses is well-suited and appropriate for the restricted time left for art education in high school.…”

Mediación expandida. Un estudio a/r/tográfico y educativo basado en la visualidad entre la obra de arte contemporáneo y docentes de Infantil y Primaria

“…Tampoco las inquietudes sobre el terreno híbrido entre docencia, quehacer artístico e investigación del arte y su educación se concretan, tan solo, en el campo de la llamada A/r/tografía de la comunidad que surge en universidad de Columbia Británica en Canadá y que se extiende por el resto de los países del continente europeo y americano. Bajo otros nombres como Artist/teacher en EEUU(Graham and Zwirn, 2010;Zwirn, 2005), Arte-educador, o Professor artista en Brasil y Portugal, y en los…”
