I completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) with distinction at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in November 2018. I have been exploring in practice the challenges and successes of the teaching and learning process in the context of art making with a range of different students and in January 2019 registered as a fulltime Master’s in Fine Arts student at the Wits School of Arts in the Department of Visual Arts with supervision from the head of the department Professor David Andrew. In January 2020 I exhibited a body of work titled How the Ornithologist Becomes a Bird; the perplexing spaces of teaching and learning in partial fulfilment of my Master of Arts in Fine Arts (MAFA) degree from the and submitted my dissertation in May 2020, graduating 11 December 2020 (with distinction) .
The dissertation was titled Pedagogies,Practices and Desires; the perplexing spaces of teaching and learning and I include a short synopsis of the research below:
This research project investigated experiential pedagogy, desires for becoming, belonging and loving and of showing by doing in spaces of teaching and learning. The MAFA by Research comprised a 25,000-word dissertation and an exhibition component comprising an installation of 70 works (film, paintings, drawings, sculptures) produced during the period of registration for the MAFA. The methodology for the artistic research drew on the emergent nature of practice, on conducting generative workshops with arts learners and teachers, and on foraging theoretical fields in order to create relationality and discourse.
The dissertation is divided into an introduction and conclusion and four chapters. Each chapter isinformed by one of the pedagogical holders that underpin multimodality pedagogy: situated practice, overt instruction, critical framing and transformed practice.
