    Intersections of art and education

    The research area of Art/ist Teaching is dedicated to the complex relations between art and education. As such, both artistic practice and teaching are understood as radical fields of action which impart specific forms of knowledge. Based on this understanding methods and strategies for future teachers of art education are explored and critically developed.

    Research Area

    Art/ist Teaching incorporates research as well as teaching methods. This double engagement leads to important overlaps and unavoidable interferences between the two practice fields, which in turn demand the invention of new research methodologies, assembled from disciplines such as educational research, cultural analysis and critical theory, artistic research and artistic practice. The complex intertwining of the various areas results in the development of specific and critically committed research methodologies, at the point of convergence between artistic practice and teaching. The reciprocal influence of interdisciplinary theory and deconstructive practices will also generate a critical analysis of deep-seated behavioural patterns and traditions in the area of art pedagogy, without thereby dismissing proven processes and epistemologies. The aim of the research is finally to take the current media, cultural and social challenges into due consideration and to develop proactive and potentially radical practices in art teaching for future art educators.

    Art-driven critical pedagogy

    The research projects within the research area of Art/ist Teaching question particularly the continually changing, yet often rigid, relational structure between artistic practice and teaching on various educational levels. At the same time, our investigation also takes an interventionist approach, in that it aims to expand and transform existing areas of action. Such an approach acknowledges in a radical sense the as yet unimaginable possibilities of future educational needs and makes them its particular focus. This is how the research field contributes to an art-driven critical pedagogy.
