Course details
The MA Artist Educator is designed for artists who work in formal and informal educational contexts and are critically conscious of their pedagogical approach to teaching in the arts. It will provide them with an opportunity to develop as professional practitioners in arts education. Participants will reflect on their own practice and observe the arts practices and pedagogies of others, both locally and globally. They will have the opportunity to transform their practice for the benefit of themselves, students, community and industry, and to contribute to the growing field of research in arts education.
Artist Educators are drawn from, and engage with, the full range of the arts from the creative and performing arts, to visual, design and curatorial practice. Emphasis will be given to practice-led research and the teaching of the creative arts.
