Students in Ann Holt’s Introduction to Art Education (AED 101S) visited Maker Commons to create a collaborative, interactive art exhibit installed in the Patterson Building that told the story of their visions 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 a device called a Bare Conductive Touch Board and were shown how to program the device and wire it so that it could be connected to touch points located on works of art that were created outside of class. At the exhibition, participants could trigger the playing of the recordings by touching the different touch points with their fingers.
