This book explores art practice and learning as processes that break new
ground, through which new perceptions of self and world emerge.
Examining art practice in educational settings where emphasis is placed
upon a pragmatics of the 'suddenly possible', Atkinson looks at the
issues of ethics, aesthetics, and politics of learning and teaching.
These learning encounters drive students beyond the security of
established patterns of learning into new and modified modes of
thinking, feeling, seeing, and making.
