    An artful experiment: The Child+Adult Art Response Project
    Watkins, M ; Coleman, K (InSEA, 2019)
    The Melbourne Graduate School of Education's (MGSE) 'Child+Adult Art Response Project' (C+AARP) involves child and adult artists visually responding to the provocation of INSIDE/OUTSIDE, with each artwork shared as a cross-generational art encounter. This iteration of the project invites middle years primary children in Victoria, Australia partnering with preservice secondary artist-teachers at MGSE, The University of Melbourne to voice personal concerns and feelings, exploring the inside self in relation to the outside world, and creatively exploring public ideas about global, national and local issues. This paper performs the intergenerational artist dialogues afforded by C+AARP, dialogues that rupture traditional notions of teacher/student-adult/child power dynamics, agency, creativity, artist relationships and knowledge transformation.
