Academic Year 2023 - 2024. Exploring Illustration Pedagogy Through Illustration Practice
Get PDFThis study explores illustration pedagogy through illustration practice, providing the unique opportunity to consider the entanglement of three academic identities: teacher, illustrator and researcher. The aims of this research were to surface findings that can begin to restructure a sense of self within Higher Education, to better understand student experience of illustration pedagogy and to uncover a more nuanced focus for future research.
Between September 2023 and June 2024, a body of practice-based research was generated, documenting moments of teaching from BA Illustration and Visual Media at London College of Communication. The slow visual documentation of an academic year allowed the abstract nature of this study to become more tangible and within this essay, practice acts as the foundation for further research and analysis. Informed by the methodologies of practice-based research, visual ethnography and arts-based research, methods include field notes, illustrative ethnographic fictions, focus groups and visualising illustrative ethnographic fictions. Research findings are explored through the analysis of three salient strands of interest: ‘Scenes of Affect’, ‘Question of Value’ and ‘Embodied Self’.
Upon conclusion, this study explores ways in which the research findings can actively enter the landscape of which they were initially inspired and argues that the project itself both defines and acts as an example of academic research that uses sensory affect to explore encounters within learning spaces, questioning the impact this has on learning experiences

See Saws and Sandboxes: enabling meaningful reflective practice in art and design teaching
Get PDFThis paper tackles the ‘wicked problem’ of reflective teaching in the creative arts. Rittel and Webber (1973) characterise ‘wicked problems’ as problems that include a large number of complex variables, all of which are dynamic, contextually bound, and interdependent. Whilst ‘reflection, the arts and education go hand in hand’ (Burnard and Hennessey, 2006: ix) with students routinely expected to critically reflect, art and design lecturers may not practise meaningful reflection in their own teaching. This phenomenon is further complicated by differences in disciplinary contexts and generic institution-wide intervention. Academic development literature on this topic may be viewed as unconvincing and irrelevant, introducing models of reflection which lecturers may perceive as a ‘right way to reflect’ (James, 2007). Exposing this disconnect between reflective academic development theory and creative arts practice, the paper draws on the insights from a small scale EdD research exploration of how creative arts lecturers talk about reflecting on their teaching (McKie, 2022). The findings offer some new methodologies for stimulating reflection, particularly amongst dual professionals in art and design, which acknowledge the importance of understanding disciplinary social and cultural contexts influencing the take up of reflective pedagogy
Exhibiting Fashion: Exhibiting Collaboration
No full textExhibitions are increasingly seen as opportunities for ‘co-production’. This paper will discuss collaborative processes embedded in the AHRC-funded project Exhibiting Fashion. It will detail how (through the work of Dr Piccini, Dr Horsley and collaborating curators) these processes generated, and were incorporated into, exhibition content and subsequent public response to the display of curatorial process.
The AHRC has approved a major funding award to Dr Jeffrey Horsley (Centre for Fashion Curation, London College of Fashion) towards a project investigating fashion exhibition-making in UK museums. The collaborative, practice-based research aims to develop a ‘toolkit’ that will support non-specialist curators in small and mid-sized museums to create accessible and innovative fashion displays following a ‘low-impact resourcing’ model. Curatorial staff at Manchester Art Gallery (Manchester), the Beecroft Art Gallery (Southend) and Bankfield Museum (Halifax) are collaborating partners on the project.
Co-Investigator Dr Angela Piccini (University of Plymouth) is working alongside Dr Horsley, using participant-focused film-making techniques, to document live the practices of exhibition-maker and curators. The project supports production of fashion exhibitions at each partner’s venue and runs from winter 2021 until summer 2024. Content for the toolkit is being developed from analysis and reflection on Dr Piccini’s observation and recordings
Unmasking the Power of Play Through TUI Designs
Get PDFResearch on the potential benefits of technology for autistic children is an emergent field in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), especially within the Child-Computer Interaction Community. At the same time, there are concerns about what these interventions and technologies are for and who benefits. We present a research and design approach for Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) for minimally verbal to nonverbal autistic children following a neurodiversity narrative through three field studies developed and evaluated with three groups of children within a semi-structured scholastic environment between 2018 and 2021 in the UK. We discuss our insights for research and TUI designs in the context of social play for nonverbal autistic children and critically reflect on the methods and approaches we used. We do this to disrupt the normalisation agenda that subtly permeates the field of HCI and to direct designers’ attention toward supporting autistic ways of being in the world
