From Content to Form: Judy Chicago's Pedagogy with Reflections by Judy Chicago
Keifer-Boyd, Karen
Studies in Art Education: A Journal of Issues and Research in Art Education, v48 n2 p134-154 Win 2007
In this article, internationally renowned artist and educator Judy Chicago reflects on her teaching and on my own interpretation of her pedagogy in three projects: "Womanhouse" (1971-1972), "At Home" (2001-2002), and "Envisioning the Future" (2003-2004). From a comparison of pre- and post-open-ended questionnaire responses given by 62 participants in the "Envisioning the Future (ETF)" project, I identified aspects of Chicago's methodology that make it unique from other studio teaching approaches. Gender, status, and ideology emerge as significant themes in the analysis of eight artist-educators' experiences who learn Chicago's teaching methodology in a 10-day workshop and subsequently are guided by Chicago in their semester-long facilitation of artmaking groups of the 62 participants in the "ETF" project. I distinguish Chicago's teaching methodology from common threads of feminist pedagogy. These threads include the following goals: effecting social change; envisioning teaching as a political act; viewing knowledge as value-laden; valuing personal experience and self-representation; providing avenues for multivocality, and sharing leadership in student-centered environments. The focus is on Chicago's primary teaching goal, which is to facilitate the creation of "content-based art of high-quality." (Contains 1 figure and 5 footnotes.)
