- Description
- This chapter provides a professional design practice lens on the domain of arts education by interpreting the designerly ways of knowing by artists in residence. A reflective inquiry method analyses design knowledge and praxis from two case studies of artist residencies in primary classrooms participating in the New South Wales Fresh AIR (Artists in Residence) research project. Analysis of these case studies demonstrate how schools as creative ecologies are responsive to learners’ challenges in complex and diverse societies by embedding artists and their professional practice in the classroom. The first case study investigated the problem of connecting young people to the cultural significance of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders welcoming others to country and others acknowledging country. The second case study investigated how students design an imagined future community in 3D and digital technology. Illustrations of practice when creating innovative art products reveals the relationship of the discipline of design to a creative arts education model for educators and researchers. Findings about the elements of a creative school ecology that enhance creativity and learning through the design process draw together how design learning influences people.
