In one sense, the effects of crip time can be constraining, particularly when it results in an encounter with ableist institutional and societal barriers. But crip time can also take on a liberatory form as a mode of resistance and a catalyst for structural change. This autoethnographic inquiry explores these various manifestations of crip time and will take form as a kind of crip time travel endeavour that recounts my experiences of temporality as a neurodivergent university art student. Framed through the mental imagery of the membrane and the vortex, I discuss the ways in which my neurodivergent student temporality collided and conflicted with the rigid temporal frameworks of neoliberal higher art education (HAE). I particularly focus on how HAE segments its programming into academic and artistic curricular time. I detail my difficulties keeping up with the academic curricular time to such an extent that the studio time and community time of artistic curricular time became lost or displaced time. Based on this crip time travel inquiry, I will acknowledge and move beyond a confining conception of crip time to offer insights into the liberatory potential of crip time towards reimagining temporal relations, reconceiving student success and opening time for neurodivergent students for critical making and thinking among a community of artist peers and mentors in HAE.</p>","PeriodicalId":45973,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Art & Design Education","volume":"43 4","pages":"683-697"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142737549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an art educator who has been learning and teaching in the Korean sociocultural context since the 1970s, I have experienced the struggle between my identity as an artist and my identity as a teacher amidst the changes in educational ideology reflected in the Korean national curriculum, which is a set of pedagogical discourses and practices that are constructed within a particular sociocultural context.

However, its potential in basic education remains under-exploited. This study aims to bridge the gap by investigating how public art is effectively integrated into school curriculums and the educational benefits it offers students in their learning journey. Researchers, therefore, designed a student-centred public art intervention project, Dreams and Hopes, at a Chinese nonprofit primary school incorporating the school's educational goals. The project recruited 5th and 6th graders to create a giant mosaic mural for the campus’ public space during the school's club and regular curriculum. To determine the educational benefits of the public art practice, researchers collected qualitative data using ethnographic methods in the project. The results showed that students at different stages (design, making, exhibition) gained competencies in three key themes: creativity (divergence, convergence, expression), practical ability (operation, innovation, collaboration), and self-identity (satisfaction, achievement, confidence). These competencies align with the school's educational goals and enhance students’ learning experience. Problem-based guidance, a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, effective communication and a connection to reality are essential to these critical competencies. The study reveals that public art may support educational goals and benefit students. It also enhances the practical experience of public art in basic education and provides a model of intervention to educators. The study recommends that schools actively collaborate with external resources, emphasise the art practice's educational value, and provide platforms for student arts participation.</p>","PeriodicalId":45973,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Art & Design Education","volume":"44 1","pages":"132-148"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143404400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
