A workshop experience for artists and art educators about the potential of the art assignment as a work of art and the work of art as a pedagogical device.

Rarely considered art, assignments are traditionally treated as exercises or milestones on the road to expected artistic consecration through a didactic format. This workshop focuses on alternative learning strategies to transform the art assignment into an artwork experience. Participants will explore multi-format prompts to undergo creative processes that incite imaginative proposals and aesthetic adventures, diversifying learning beyond disciplinary and technological boundaries.

The practical experience will imply reacting to the prompts through active listening, interpreting and sharing to make together. Essential topics for this session will include knowledge, failure, identity, and care.
