DESCRIPTORS *Art Activities; *Art Education; *Art Teachers; Elementary Secondary Education; *Teacher Collaboration ABSTRACT Educators are familiar with working together to produce curriculum packages, to team teach a unit, to host a parent event, to put on a school-wide concert, or to plan a conference. Collaboration in art education as presented in this publication is a team effort that is slightly different and beyond ordinary collaboration. Collaborative art-making involves the inclusion of many contributions to the creation of the final image. This theme issue contains seven articles:(1) "Editor's View" (Sharon McCoubrey); (2) "The Collaborative Process of Art Making" (Taylor Gutermute a.k.a. Patty Taylor); (3) "Making Connections: The Integration of Art and Language Arts" (Virginia MacCarthy; Heather A.

  • To View Artist Portfolio
    Meryl McMaster (b.1988) ARTIST BIOGRAPHY : Sculptural photographer, Meryl McMaster explores the construction of selfhood, conjoining hybrid inheritances – First Nations Cree, European, female – with the immediacy of the lived body animated by the natural world. For McMaster, identity and subjectivity are never complete, always in process and formed and re-formed from within, inseparable from without. In the series Wanderings and In Between Worlds, she is garmented as much by heritage and imagination – manifest as sculptural constructions ranging from abstractions to the shamanic grafting of animals – as by the ever-changeful sky and snow and waters. The morphological signs of water and snow are central to the landscape of Ottawa, Canada where she lives. And in Ancestral the snowstorm appears to move within: McMaster whites-out identity to create a receptive screen onto which is projected the faces of ancestors, whether human or animal. Employing near-invisibility to create heightened presence, she subverts the colonial gaze. Employing projection, she inverts its directionality: identity appears to seep outwards from inside, fluid and ungraspable, defying the fixed boundaries of historical chronology. McMaster is the recipient of numerous awards and scholarships including the Canon Canada Prize, the Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship, the Doris McCarthy Scholarship, the OCAD U Medal, and the Charles Pachter Prize for Emerging Artists. McMaster’s work has been included in exhibitions throughout Canada and the United States, including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Indian, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Prefix Institute of Contemporary Art, the Eiteljorg Museum, the Ottawa Art Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the Mendel Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
