Our team seeks to practice arts education where the individuality of participants can be respected and discovered. We are going to find a way to achieve this from ambiguous moments in our lives. Each team member collects and reads through domestic and international case studies on arts education programs and art works related to ambiguity. Then, we shall share what we find in each discussion session. Based on the discussion, we will create an arts education program on ambiguity together and give a mock-up lesson.
When the time limit is given to do a certain task, we are busy comparing ourselves with others working on the same task. But, were you able to discover who you are at such a moment? What can we do to face and embrace ourselves as we are that we encounter when we are immersed in a task to accomplish something? Our life is a series of ambiguous moments. By making a decision in that ambiguous moment, our life proceeds. Diverging from what I had learned and been familiar with, I decided to become honest about discovering myself and others, finding real meanings in life, and interacting with others through “unlearning.” People gathered and joined this team, who agree with my thoughts on ambiguity, wish to continuously reflect on themselves in their past and present moments, and are open to share with someone the thoughts they find in such moments. They joined the team, expecting to find the moments of being released, transition, and progression as we will explore the theme.
In the end, based on what we share and exchange, we would like to develop an arts education program which does not show what has to be done but communicates and interacts with participants.
We want to develop and conduct a pilot study on an integrated arts education program related to “ambiguity.”
