Artist-teacher Jess Gilbert discusses her approaches to art making as an act of research and discovery for both herself and her students.
Drawing from her first experience in a classroom as an artist in residence, Gilbert shares how her teaching is informed by viewing students as collaborators and introduces frameworks for students to play and take risks within the classroom.
She encourages students to 'think like artists', embrace the uncertainty of open-ended enquiry as a process of discovery, and adopt making as a method of research.
