Advancing Student Experience in the Art and Design Curriculum: Project-Based Learning will renew the critical attention paid to projects in the art & design curriculum and rigorously consider impacts on student experience.

How exactly do we conceive of ‘projects’ in the context of a post-secondary creative arts curriculum? Each chapter in this book confronts the project as a specific, potent and transformative site of learning with vast engagement potential for the contemporary student. What unites the project-based learning methods in this book is an emphasis on the motivated and purposeful activities of the learners that result in tangible making and doing. Craft-based learning, practice-based learning, experimental learning design, culturally informed practices and reconsideration of obsolete learning mechanisms all coalesce in this text and evidence the innovativeness and abiding power of project-based learning.

Each author in this book describes a diverse experience of learning that serves as an exemplar of project-based learning and illuminates the histories, theories and dynamics of the method for teachers, learning designers, educational theorists and interdisciplinarians.
