conversational pedagogy exploring interactions between a teaching artist and young learners during Visual Arts experiences
Early Childhood Education Journal, 2013Co-Authors: Angela EckhoffAbstract:In many early childhood classrooms, Visual Arts experiences occur around a communal Arts table. A shared workspace allows for spontaneous conversation and exploration of the art-making process of peers and teachers. In this setting, conversation can play an important role in Visual Arts experiences as children explore new media, skills, and ideas. The investigation of informal conversations during Visual Arts experiences will serve to improve understandings of the cognitive, imaginative, social, and affective components of young children’s creative endeavors. In particular, the exploration of conversational discourse contributes to understandings of conversation as an integral component of pedagogy in early childhood Arts. As an exploration of the nature of conversation as pedagogy in early Arts experiences, I present a ‘telling case’ (Mitchell 1984) featuring the collaborative work between a teaching artist and two young students as they explore and create together. The findings from this research have important implications for early childhood and art education teacher educators striving to develop supportive educational practices that will assist early childhood teachers in promoting supportive Visual Arts practices.

the importance of art viewing experiences in early childhood Visual Arts the exploration of a master art teacher s strategies for meaningful early Arts experiences
Early Childhood Education Journal, 2008Co-Authors: Angela EckhoffAbstract:The Visual Arts can be an important and rich domain of learning for young children. In PreK education, The Task Force on Children’s Learning and the Arts: Birth to Age Eight (Young children and the Arts: Making creative connections, Washington, DC: Arts Education Partnership, 1998) recommends that art experiences for young children include activities designed to introduce children to works of art that are high quality and developmentally appropriate in both content and presentation. This paper documents the teaching strategies utilized by a master art teacher at the Denver Art Museum to engage preschool-age students in art viewing experiences which were part of a museum-based art program. This research provides support for integrating rich, meaningful art viewing experiences as a regular part of young children’s Arts experiences while offering early childhood educators teaching strategies for early art viewing experiences.

beyond talk and text an expressive Visual Arts method for social work education
Social Work Education, 2012Co-Authors: Patricia WaltonAbstract:As a social work lecturer, I use a Visual Arts method to encourage breadth and criticality in student reflections on professional communication. This non-textual approach has produced vivid insights into practice situations and has launched students into a deeper and more detailed level of theoretical analysis than tutors might have expected in the time available. It has worked particularly well for students who do not readily articulate practice experience as academic argument. This article describes the Visual method used and discusses the outcomes, with examples of the work produced. It goes on to look at potential explanations for the effectiveness of the method and to consider the relevance of this Arts-based thinking for social work. The analysis considers underpinning philosophy, professional development theories, research and debates around social work practice and education, and Visual and sensory methods literature from social work and related disciplines. The question of relevance is discussed ...

enhancing divergent thinking in Visual Arts education effects of explicit instruction of meta cognition
British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015Co-Authors: Marietherese Van De Kamp, Wilfried Admiraal, Jannet Van Drie, G C W RijlaarsdamAbstract:Background The main purposes of Visual Arts education concern the enhancement of students' creative processes and the originality of their art products. Divergent thinking is crucial for finding original ideas in the initial phase of a creative process that aims to result in an original product. Aims This study aims to examine the effects of explicit instruction of meta-cognition on students' divergent thinking. Sample and method A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 147 secondary school students in Visual Arts education. In the experimental condition, students attended a series of regular lessons with assignments on art reception and production, and they attended one intervention lesson with explicit instruction of meta-cognition. In the control condition, students attended a series of regular lessons only. Pre-test and post-test instances tests measured fluency, flexibility, and originality as indicators of divergent thinking. Results Explicit instruction of meta-cognitive knowledge had a positive effect on fluency and flexibility, but not on originality. Conclusions This study implies that in the domain of Visual Arts, instructional support in building up meta-cognitive knowledge about divergent thinking may improve students' creative processes. This study also discusses possible reasons for the demonstrated lack of effect for originality.

mapping the waters a scoping review of the use of Visual Arts in pediatric populations with health conditions
Arts & Health, 2014Co-Authors: Mandy M Archibald, Shannon D Scott, Lisa HartlingAbstract:Objectives: Visual art is a powerful and expressive communication tool with utility in pediatric settings. We undertook a scoping review to understand how Visual Arts (e.g. drawing, painting) are used in pediatric populations with health (i.e. medical and psychiatric) conditions. Methods: CINAHL, SCOPUS and PubMed were searched (2001–2011). We used systematic methods for study selection and data extraction. We conducted a descriptive analysis and categorized studies according to the purpose of the artistic intervention. Results: Of 1767 articles retrieved, 16 met the inclusion criteria. Visual art was most commonly used with the conditions of autism and post-traumatic stress disorder. Findings illuminate the use of art Visual as a mechanism to facilitate or reduce specific child attributes (e.g. self-efficacy, anxiety) and to facilitate understanding through communication or assessment. Conclusions: This review provides information about the uses of Visual art in pediatric populations with health conditio...

protocol for a systematic review of the use of narrative storytelling and Visual Arts based approaches as knowledge translation tools in healthcare
Systematic Reviews, 2013Co-Authors: Shannon D Scott, Mandy M Archibald, Pamela Brettmaclean, Lisa HartlingAbstract:Background: The Arts are powerful, accessible forms of communication that have the potential to impart knowledge by attracting interest and developing meaningful connections. Knowledge translation aims to reduce the ‘evidence-practice’ gap by developing, implementing and evaluating strategies designed to enhance awareness and promote behavior change congruent with research evidence. Increasingly, innovative approaches such as narrative storytelling and other Arts-based interventions are being investigated to bridge the growing gap between practice and research. This study is the first to systematically identify and synthesize current research on narrative storytelling and Visual art to translate and disseminate health research. Methods: A health research librarian will develop and implement search strategies designed to identify relevant evidence. Studies will be included if they are primary research employing narrative storytelling and/or Visual art as a knowledge translation strategy in healthcare. Two reviewers will independently perform study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction using standard forms. Disagreements will be resolved through discussion or third party adjudication. Data will be grouped and analyzed by research design, type of knowledge translation strategy (that is, a narrative or Visual-Arts-based approach), and target audience. An overall synthesis across all studies will be conducted. Discussion: The findings from this research project will describe the ‘state of the science’ regarding the use of narrative storytelling and Visual art as knowledge translation strategies. This systematic review will provide critical information for: (1) researchers conducting knowledge translation intervention studies; (2) nursing, medicine, and allied healthcare professionals; (3) healthcare consumers, including patients and families; and (4) decision makers and knowledge users who are charged to increase use of the latest research in healthcare settings.

the impact of copyright permissions culture on the us Visual Arts community the consequences of fear of fair use
New Media & Society, 2016Co-Authors: Patricia Aufderheide, Tijana Milosevic, Bryan BelloAbstract:As digital opportunities emerge in the Visual Arts—to produce multimedia art and digital scholarship, publish online, and hold online museum exhibitions—old copyright frustrations have worsened in a field where getting permissions is routine. A national survey of 2828 Visual Arts professionals, combined with 100 in-depth interviews of Visual Arts practitioners throughout the United States, explored how Visual Arts professionals use the US copyright doctrine of fair use. Results showed widespread lack of confidence and misconceptions about fair use; resulting exaggerated risk assessment; personal and social relations within the community that deter reliance on fair use; and consequent delays, deformations, and failure to execute mission.
