L/i/n/e/s : an examination of personal art process

In this thesis I examine my own personal artistic process and how this, exploration came to enrich my teaching. I use an arts based methodology and represent my findings in both a written text, and as an art exhibition (April 22-25, 2003) at the University of British Columbia's Alma Mater Society Gallery. I have included images from that show as well as the theoretical underpinnings to support studio based ways of understanding and representing knowledge. The complex relationship between art, research and studio practice is examined and deconstructed with the notions of experience and dialogue emerging as key. As I studied my own artistic processes and found ways to make links visually and for providing opportunities for student growth and understanding of their own artistic processes are discussed.Education, Faculty ofCurriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department ofGraduat
