IMAG #21: OPEN HORIZONS

Often, the principal editors of IMAG receive inquiries and submissions that address exemplary art education programs, artistic explorations, and community engagements that do not directly attend to our chosen theme.

For issue #21 we decided to have an open theme. Often, as art educators we ask students to engage in curriculum that is open ended where they chose a project, focus, and medium though still work within some parameters such as scale, documentation, and timeframe. In this IMAG open “horizon” issue our authors worked within the “scale” boundaries of a visual essay where images and text collaboratively tell the story; document intent, process, and reflection; and abide by the timeframe set by the editors. With delight we present our montage of inspiring practices, surprises, and gems.
