The Art Room: Reflecting on My Multiple Roles in the Creation of Art Educational Videos for Children

This research creation project uses the methodology of reflective practice as presented by Donald Schön (1983), with adaptations regarding the production of a creative project as proposed by Steven Scrivener (2000) and with the inclusion of active documentation as presented by Nancy De Freitas (2002). As a reflective practitioner, I examine how the roles of artist, producer, researcher, teacher and entertainer contribute to the creation of art educational videos designed for children ages 9-12. The project consists of three research cycles, each with the focus of producing a short, 10-20 minute, episode of The Art Room
