Abstract

Faculty from CVPA discuss how to blend undergraduate creative activity with inquiry procedures that evoke deep learning, synthesis of theory and practice, and student engagement. As collaborators in the artistic endeavor, instructors learn from their students also. In the arts, creative activity is faculty research and students are their academic partners. The panelists describe how they worked with students to balance creative and critical engagement to foster intensive learning in their classrooms.
