She demonstrates how, by considering diverse audiences, access tools can enhance the creative process for the artists themselves. Forcing them to question what, how and why they make specific choices can facilitate a deeper understanding of their own story-telling. On completion, the finished works then have the potential to be received more fully, by diverse audiences.","PeriodicalId":53876,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Artist Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15411796.2018.1530521","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47747905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the development of this curriculum and the facilitation of the workshop itself brought on an incredibly cathartic reflection of my own journey towards prioritizing health as an artist.

An effective call to action is clear and direct, has the audience act quickly, lowers barriers to action, focuses on benefits for the audience, and is customized for each person. In theatre performance, it is customary for theatre artists to pose problems—and through this article, I urge the artist to go a step further by engaging in direct and specific calls to action.","PeriodicalId":53876,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Artist Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15411796.2018.1470390","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42091714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teacher educators and a teaching artist describe a two-tiered residency in an early childhood and special education program that transformed preservice teachers' attitudes toward visual art and arts integration. Findings are based on teaching artist and instructor reflections as well as a qualitative analysis of student journal entries. Preservice teachers who had no prior art training and were resistant toward abstract painting began to enjoy it and appreciate the value of art for children's learning. They came to recognize visual art as a tool to support social development and children with special needs, understood the importance of process in children's art experiences, and considered ways to integrate art throughout the curriculum. We urge teacher educators and teaching artists to incorporate artist residencies into teacher education programs to prepare future teachers to integrate the arts into the classrooms of tomorrow.","PeriodicalId":53876,"journal":{"name":"Teaching Artist Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2018-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15411796.2018.1470376","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43393665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
