Though the impacts of prison are fundamentally interwoven in the experiences of many communities, especially communities of color, mass incarceration in many ways remains invisible in the archival record and national consciousness and memory. In this project, Ithaka S+R, in collaboration with Wendy Jason from the Justice Arts Coalition (JAC), a…

This book considers the generative tension between the materiality and virtuality of walking methodologies in a/r/tography and arts-based educational research. It explores the materiality of practice--manifestations, manipulations, residues, and traces of both real and imagined experiences and events. Authors present artistic representations,…

This study focuses on the visual symbolic features of the Goguryeo tomb murals in Ji'an and their application value in modern art education. It aims to explore innovative pathways for cultural symbols in educational transformation. Created between the 4th and 7th centuries, the Ji'an Goguryeo murals showcase the religious beliefs, social…

Surface anatomy is an important skill for students in preparation for patient care, and peer examination is often used to teach musculoskeletal and surface anatomy. An alternative pedagogical approach is to use bodies represented in artworks. Represented bodies display fictive anatomy, providing students with the opportunity to apply their…

Enlightenment modernity brings about the domination of industrialization, bureaucracy and instrumental rationality over the subject and its school life. At this time, the subject is like living in what Weber called the "iron cage" ruled by instrumental rationality. The worship of rational authority in education has reached such an extent…

With the recent proliferation of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models capable of mimicking human artworks, AI creations might soon replace products of human creativity, although skeptics argue that this outcome is unlikely. One possible reason this may be unlikely is that, independent of the physical properties of art, we place great value…

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the evaluation of the arts within performance-based research funding systems (PRFSs). Previous literature on PRFSs has overlooked the arts and focussed primarily on outputs in relation to the sciences and humanities. We develop a typology of how artistic outputs are evaluated within 10 countries'…

In this article, I reflect on how my positioning along axes of disability, race, and class shapes my interaction with dominant discourses of motherhood and on how these tensions are explored in "The Mother," a public installation of my artwork shown in 2023. Situating myself in the liminal space between participation in and resistance to…

The "standard" definition of creativity as novel and useful describes creative products, but creativity is constituted by processes. This misalignment contributes to the oft-noted challenges of operationalizing creativity. Here, we distinguish creativity as a process from creativity as an attribute (i.e. "creative-ness").…

Motivated by the discussion of modern and contemporary art in Dr. Seuss's (2019) "Horse Museum," the authors sought to determine if children's picture books about visiting the art museum include contemporary art. Moreover, if so, what messages about contemporary art are sent by these books? How can teachers who rely on picture books as…

Researchers have invested a great deal in creating reliable, "gold-standard" creativity assessments that can be administered in controlled laboratory settings, though these efforts have come at the cost of not using ecologically and face-valid tasks. To help fill this critical gap, we developed and implemented a novel, face-valid…

Drawing on glitch feminism, a speculative framework conceptualized by curator and writer Legacy Russell, this article explores the potentials of system glitching as a pedagogical form of feminist disruption. I investigate glitch feminism as a critical lens through an analysis of three specific cases that each embody feminist system glitching in…

As a case study that consists of two parts, this research investigates how a pro-c class expert artist thinks and acts during art making, paying special attention to exploratory behaviors and task completion processes. In Part 1 of this case study, we videoed an artist's authentic creative process in his studio. We interviewed him about his…

Art appreciation reflects an initial emotional and intuitive response to artwork evaluation, although this intuitive evaluation can be attenuated by subsequent deliberation. The Dual Process Theory of Autism proposes that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have a greater propensity to deliberate and reduced intuition compared to…

This paper presents a study analyzing the perception of artistic products created by or with the support of artificial intelligence (AI). The research builds on previous studies revealing that the output of artificial creativity processes can indeed rival human-made products, satisfy consumer expectations, and derive enjoyment. However, in…
