"Language - that is to say, certain individual words, collections of words... is saturated with affect" (Clarke & More, 2016; 670). As a teacher, there are words/phrases used I dislike/find uncomfortable.The drawing comes from CPD - "hook the students in." What are your words? #Education #teaching

As an #Art teacher have you experienced the politics of desire where you "are torn between the desire to freely share their artistry with students and the compliance required by educational policy aligns with that of responsive & contractual accountability" (Thorpe and Kinsella, 2021; 542) #arted

Since I began teaching, my practice has changed. I often paint minatures as larger canvases are often abandoned due to lack of time. Has your practice adapted to fit around teaching? If so, how? #art #arteducation #artresearch #painting #practice #teachingpractice
