Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) (Douglas & Jaquith, 2009; Douglas, Jaquith, & Thompson, 2018) is a fairly new pedagogy in art education that gives students choice and agency in the classroom. In the following dissertation, I position myself as an art teacher who utilized this pedagogy as an a/r/tographer (Springgay, Irwin, Leggo, & Gouzouasis, 2008), navigating the spaces in/between being an artist, a researcher, and a teacher. The research evolved to include my experiences teaching remotely during the global pandemic of 2020. Through this arts-based qualitative research, I used a multimodal method of inquiry that allows for meanings to change (MacDonald, Baguley, & Kerby, 2017) making “the research responsive to practice and to those involved in that practice” (Springgay, Irwin, & Kind, 2008, p. 77). In framing my methodology within a/r/tography, I looked to the rhizomatic connections/weavings/folds (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987) between Bourriaurd’s relational aesthetics (Bourriaud, 2002; Budge & Clarke, 2012; Choi, 2013) and the Studio Thinking Framework (Hetland, Hogan, Jaquith, & Winner, 2018) to examine my experiences through living inquiry (Irwin, Kind, & Springgay, 2005). The significance of this study is to better understand the inter-connectedness of artmaking and teaching through living inquiry during a pandemic. In this arts-based, action research study, I utilized the creation of artwork and short visual journeys (svj) as a research tool through an auto-a/r/tography. As the navigator of the art room, I created and recreated the space and designed the curriculum based on TAB principles and the Studio Habits of Mind. I was interested in the changing landscape of my classroom studio, in this case the space transformed to a virtual studio, and how that might look if conceptually mapped from my observations and reflections of its use. Also, I wondered what might happen when a TAB teacher practiced what she preached through working as an artist alongside her students, modeling the Studio Habits of Mind through creating original works, not demonstrations.
