ha. my teaching philosophy as sound bites

1. deconstructing discrepancies
   between artist intent and viewers perception
2. disrupting habits–disrupt
   habits of mind, habits of making, habits of process, habits of materiality
3. disrupting assumptions—perceived
   cultural, historical and personal narratives
4. enticing to enter the ongoing
   dialog of contemporary art and practice
5. digging into ideation process
   through guided research
6. unpacking ideation and making
   processes
7. tethering* for increased
   capacity for risk taking—materiality, methodology, conceptually
8. exploiting pocket
   technology—smart phones and social media
9. synthesizing and documenting (writing)
   deconstruction of habits, intent vs perception, processes
10. collaboratively participate
    in critical reflection and feedback throughout process
11. open capacities for listening
    (responsiveness and adaptability) to materials, methods, ideations, context
12. connecting to contexts—physical,
    historical, psychological, cultural, personal
13. exposing and explore the
    multiplicity of source of ideation for generation of work
14. translating concept from one
    form to another—metaphorical, sensory translations, etc
15. making space for the unruly,
    the resistant and the radical
16. rewriting our histories our
    stories to understand and navigate the now
17. skin on or off—life starts
    now; not later—artist/designer/animator
18. work is art, not “project.” Hang all crits as an exhibition
19. *peer community in which
    student experiences a strong sense of belonging.
