This book is about how people (we refer to them as practitioners) can help guide participants in creating representations of issues or ideas, such as collaborative diagrams, especially in the context of Participatory Design (PD). At its best, such representations can reach a very high level of expressiveness and usefulness, an ideal we refer to as Knowledge Art. Achieving that level requires effective engagement, often aided by facilitators or other practitioners. Most PD research focuses on tools and methods, or on participant experience. The next source of advantage is to better illuminate the role of practitioners-the people working with participants, tools, and methods in service of a project’s larger goals. Just like participants, practitioners experience challenges, interactions, and setbacks, and come up with creative ways to address them while maintaining their stance of service to participants and stakeholders. Our research interest is in understanding what moves and choices practitioners make that either help or hinder participants’ engagement with representations. We present a theoretical framework that looks at these choices from the experiential perspectives of narrative, aesthetics, ethics, sensemaking and improvisation and apply it to five diverse case studies of actual practice.

Knowledge is constructed through our bodies, which exist within and are affected by place. Place permeates everything we know, and in turn, is redefined by everything we do. The ongoing globalization of our culture and economy has turned attention increasingly outward, and has devalued local community. Art educators can help students re-engage with their local environments by employing a place-based pedagogy that connects knowledge construction to the physical realities of students' lives. Particularly as students in the United States experience the homogenizing effects of a national curriculum, the arts provide rare opportunities for students to consider the unique characteristics of their own experience, and their own place. To help students engage physically and meaningfully in art making, this study suggests a teaching practice framed through place-based education that utilizes an embodiment of knowledge. An embodied knowledge is one that is formed by physically gathering information from one's surrounding environment through the use of the body. Through a review of relevant literature and a nine-week case study, this research sought answers to the following questions: In what ways is a student's understanding of place influenced through the embodiment of knowledge? In what ways is my art teaching practice affected by teaching, observing, and participating in embodied experiences of place? In what ways can exploring place through the embodiment of knowledge benefit pedagogies of art education? By conducting action research through a qualitative case study, I helped design and teach a mapping curriculum with a fifth grade science class at an independent urban school. This curriculum focused on mapping through embodied experience, and included activities such as mapping the classroom and the school courtyard, and orienteering both on school grounds and at an off-campus site. The phenomenological data gathered throughout this study showed that students were able to engage with ideas of place through mapping activities, particularly as these activities allowed students to construct knowledge of distance, space, and terrain through embodied experiences. Suggestions offered by this study include further work with the fifth grade science curriculum to frame place not only as a source of data for maps, but as a central component of knowledge construction. This action research changed my art teaching practice to include a deeper consideration of epistemological experience as art. Lastly, this study suggests great potential for pedagogies of art education that support a relevant, student-centered curriculum through embodied experiences of place.

This cross-disciplinary reader gives students the opportunity to read and write about significant issues across the arts and sciences and to explore how knowledge is constructed and communicated. Thirty-eight contemporary essays are preceded by introductory chapters on writing and reading and are followed by assignment sequences that juxtapose three or more essays with a central theme. Discussion, library and Internet research, and writing activities accompany each reading. While the essays are arranged in alphabetical order, the text also offers alternative thematic and disciplinary tables of contents. The Second Edition of Making Sense presents works by well-known authors such as Annie Dillard, Gloria Anzalduacute;a, bell hooks, Lawrence Lessig, Ralph Ellison, and Nancy Sommers, as well as selections by lesser-known writers from a variety of fields. New! Students will be engaged by the variety of new readings by writers such as Dorothy Allison and Marita Sturken. New images also appear throughout the text, ranging from Depression-era photos accompanying Dorothy Allison's essay to advertisements accompanying Stuart Ewen's essay on consumer style. New! Pre-reading questions—"What Do You Know?" and "What Do You Expect to Discover?"—guide students to uncover what they already know about a topic so they can move with more confidence into their reading of the text. These questions also help students anticipate key ideas and develop their own framework for understanding the readings. New! Updated post-reading questions are now arranged in the following four categories: Reading, Rereading, and Analysis; Responding through Writing: Building an Interpretation; Going Further: Learning from Other Sources; and Applying What You've Learned. New! Ten new assignment sequences invite students to read critically and to practice their revision skills. Topics include "History and Memory," with selections from bell hooks, Ralph Ellison and Julie Charlip, and "Images and Words," with selections from Arlie Hochschild, Richard Florida, and Yi-Fu Tuan. This edition offers two appendices: "Making Sense through Research" and "Writing in the Disciplines," a collection of five essays by academics and professionals on the value of effective writing in a variety of fields.

Art Practice as Research, Second Edition continues to present a compelling argument that the creative and cultural inquiry undertaken by artists is a form of research. The text explores themes, practices, and contexts of artistic inquiry and positions them within the discourse of research. Sullivan argues that legitimate research goals can be achieved by choosing different methods than those offered by the social sciences. The common denominator in both approaches is the attention given to rigor and systematic inquiry. Artists emphasize the role of the imaginative intellect in creating, criticizing, and constructing knowledge that is not only new but also has the capacity to transform human understanding.

The accelerating «iconic turn» in our society today increasingly demands the interactive representation of contextual knowledge. At the same time the use of Web based learning environments highlight the audio-visual dimension of (e)pedagogy and the move towards practical, project-oriented curricula. Regardless of the educational field pedagogical expertise thus requires more and more understanding and control of visual elements and their interpretations. There is a growing need for visually oriented pedagogical experts such as teachers, tutors, designers and developers who are capable of community knowledge building and collaboration with other experts from different fields from both private and public sectors. The book intends to illuminate scientific and programmatic excerpts from an international community of researchers, practitioners, teachers and scholars working in interrelated fields such as Aesthetic Education, ePedagogy Design - Visual Knowledge Building, Visual Education, Art Education, Media Pedagogy and Intermedia Art Education.

Making Meaning is a synthesis of theory, research, and practice that explicitly presents art as a meaning making process. This book provokes readers to examine their current understandings of language, literacy and learning through the lens of the various arts-based perspectives offered in this volume; provides a starting point for constructing broader, multimodal views of what it might mean to “make meaning”; and underscores why understanding arts-based learning as a meaning-making process is especially critical to early childhood education in the face of narrowly-focused, test-driven curricular reforms. Each contributor integrates this theory and research with stories of how passionate teachers, teacher-educators, and pre-service teachers, along with administrators, artists, and professionals from a variety of fields have transcended disciplinary boundaries to engage the arts as a meaning-making process for young children and for themselves.
