Abstract:

Would you like to be a part of Learning through Art #5: We Make Art? Whether an art teacher in school, community art organizer, teaching artist, museum educator, or university or college instructor, InSEA members commitment to the visual arts is often a product of their passion for making art and being active in their own creative process. In this presentation, editors Jonathan Silverman and Glen Coutts will share how the next Learning through Art (#5) will showcase the artistic permanence and unexpected territories of InSEA members. Through future interviews of five questions and subsequent chosen five images 20 InSEA members will illustrate their inspiration, creative process, challenges, and evolution. During the presentation, Jonathan and Glen will demonstrate through their own interview process and corresponding images the format of the publication. They will invite others willing to be interviewed as one of 20. Ideally, a global collection of visual/essay stories that reflect inner territories in which we work and the links between cultural, spiritual, and technological changes (or not) with making art over time will inspire both colleagues as well as those students and community members they teach and work with. We seek a broad range of representation: global, medium, professional identities. Join us!
