Students in Ann Holt’s Introduction to Art Education (AED 101S) visited Maker Commons to create a collaborative, touch interactive artwork “Art Teacher Voices: Emerging/Unfolding” that was installed in the Patterson Building. The artwork, made up of creatively repurposed recycled vinyl records, told the stories of each students’ vision for teaching and learning. To achieve this, staff taught a workshop with two portions. During the first half, students were taught how to create and edit a personalized audio recording of their artist/teaching statements with a GarageBand tutorial. Next, students were taught how to upload their recordings to play from a device called a Bare Conductive Touch Board and were shown how to wire it so that it could be connected to specific touch points located on the artwork that was created outside of class. For the exhibition, viewers could look and listen to the artwork by touching the different touch points that prompt the playing of the recordings.
