This is a podcast all about the art of learning, making, and teaching art. As an artist and art teacher for over 20 years, I find the most inspiring and interesting ideas can be uncovered over a hot cup of tea. Join me as I talk with artists, art researchers, art educators, and art students about making and mentoring: how art is taught, how art is learned, and all the fun creative stuff in between.

EPISODES
SEASON ONE
|
EPISODE 1:
In this episode, I talk with Concordia University Instructor and Ph.D Candidate Nancy Long, who drinks chamomile tea with honey, about her experiences in Art Education. Nancy was a secondary art teacher in Montreal for the past twenty years and is now studying how to facilitate a more effective process within the art classroom. She is interested in helping art students embrace their failures as necessary learning experiences. In the podcast, we look at Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's 'Poetry Machine', their touching homage to Montreal's own Leonard Cohen. Nancy also discusses how so many artists, even Jacques Louis David constantly re-work and re-think their masterpieces and shares inspirations from prolific Concordia professor Robert (Bob) Gifford. |

EPISODE 2:
In this episode, I talk with Concordia University Instructor and Ph.D. Candidate Jacob Le Gallais, who drinks Twinnings English Breakfast tea with oat milk, about his experiences in Art Education. As a visual artist, researcher, and educator from Montreal, Jacob's work combines participatory and collaborative explorations with collage and craft practice, most often to examine notions of the human-animal relationship and the Anthropocene. In the podcast, we look at Pietro Longhi's Clara the Rhinoceros from 1751 and discuss how we (humans) use art to create an intersection of nature and culture within museum spaces to influence our narrative of our human-animal relationship. |

EPISODE 3:
In this episode, I talk with Concordia University Instructor and Ph.D. Candidate Stacey Cann, who drinks coffee (with obligatory timbits, newly rebranded as timbiebs), about her experience embracing slow design within her research and her performance art. Her work involves durational elements whose mundane nature borders on the absurd, and she is interested in how we present ourselves in the commonplace of our daily life. In the podcast, we talk about Stacey's work 'Tally' and discuss ideas realized in John Baldessari's work 'I will not make any more boring art'. |
