Series: Artwork Scholarship: International Perspectives in Education

Based on over a decade of collective teaching, this volume explores the hybrid use of online and in-person collaboration as a means of offering international experience to university-level arts students.

Illustrated with photographs, screenshots, diagrams, posters, and examples of collaborative student art projects, this book inspires reflection on teaching methodologies and student artmaking strategies across cultures and languages. Pedagogical and methodological topics trace an evolution of curricular approaches and the use of evolving online platforms. Examples of themes and visual strategies demonstrate the power of student-directed collaborative learning. Diverse voices have been gathered through research conducted with educators and alumni connected to the International Art Collaborations Network (INTAC), providing perspectives on working collaboratively in a global context.

Student projects exemplify responses to the challenges of communication and creation that come with distanced artistic partnerships. Chapters end with suggested points for conversation, whether between educators, students of art education, or students entering collaborations. Although based on experiences in the visual arts, the ideas and methods are applicable to others engaging in inter-institutional education or online collaborative practices.

Peter Sramek is a visual artist with a practice in photography and book arts and as Professor at OCAD University in Canada (now emeritus), he has worked to develop innovative curriculum in the arts over more than four decades. Since 2010, development of the International Art Collaborations network has been a key focus for his ongoing efforts to expand experiential and cross-cultural learning opportunities for students. His book, ‘Piercing Time: Paris After Marville and Atget 1865–2012’ is published by Intellect Books. Giselle Mira-Diaz is an artist and art educator based in Chicago, USA.

Giselle is currently completing an MFA in Photography at Columbia College Chicago where she is the 2023 recipient of the Stuart Abelson Graduate Research Fellowship and working as an Education Assistant at the Museum of Contemporary Photography. Her main artistic and research interest is the use of audio, film and photography to document and create a living archive of oral histories from marginalized communities who have traditionally been erased through migration or displacement. Charisse Fung is an INTAC alumna who participated in collaborative projects from 2018–2021 at OCAD University, joining the INTAC Archive Project Team as Project Archivist and Research Assistant, working on the development of this book and as co-facilitator for the INTAC IORE Sustainability Jam 2022.
