Learning Art: Exploring the


Concept of the Artist Teacher
James Hall

Abstract

The article explores the concept of the artist impact measurement. The ATS operates in a
teacher, drawing upon an overview of relevant context that includes languages, cultures and
literature and two related pieces of research: the identities from frameworks in education and art

and understandings of artist teachers (including
masters’ students), their tutors and gallery educa-
tors were explored. The data for each piece of
research were collected through unstructured,
open-ended interviews. A significant reflexive
and autobiographical dimension for the research
was motivated by my own identity as an artist
teacher, and by the exploration of reflective prac-
tice as a potential framework for realising and
sustaining an artist teacher identity and practice.
The research concluded that connections
between art practice and teaching are complex,
diverse, difficult to articulate, challenging to imple-
ment and do not easily lend themselves to simple
