The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) candidates exhibit a new body of work in the second installment of the 2014 MAT Thesis Exhibition.
The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) candidates exhibit a new body of work that encompasses the concept of A/R/T. A/R/T is part of a research process known as a/r/tography. The letters A/R/T represent the process of exploration students in the MAT program undergo in the graduate year of the program, including representing artist identity, expanding the concept of research, and learning how to use and art and research to perform their teaching as an artistic practice. Through these relationships students find ways of developing their pedagogy through a deeper understanding of what it means to know, make, and teach art. Each of the works in the show embodied these concepts for students as emerging educators whether it was directly derived from pedagogical or artistic theory and/or practice. The exhibition will be on display from Friday, Feb. 7 through Saturday, Feb. 15 in the Fox 3 Gallery (1303 W. Mount Royal Ave.). A reception will be held Friday, Feb. 7 from 5-7 p.m.
