What does "home" mean in the context of teaching artistry and art making that happens outside of the school setting? This article examines home as a valuable context and concept for teaching artists. Kathleen Vaughan (a researcher of art education environments) has extensively considered the notion of home, defining the concept in terms of students' lifeworlds and conceptions of self in place, neighborhood, and the construction of family homes. Her research emphasizes the idea of locating or finding home through art-making and related explorations. Space can also be contextualized more symbolically in terms of home decorating magazines as both depictions of space and "pedagogical sites". Art education researcher Lackey also examines her own homelife as a child, and realizes her experience of the possibilities of home as an aesthetic site of family representation as well as an imaginary concept of "fantasy and longing". Here, the author discusses exercises (and other explorations) that allow one to explore history, family, and imagination as parts of art-making around the home.
