Artistic reciprocity as course-based practice of crossing ‘mono-artistic’ boundaries in higher visual arts and music education

Abstract

While music education research has examined facets of inter-arts collaborations at professional level, there is little on inter-arts collaborations among students of different arts departments in the framework of common university courses. This article explores aspects of the learning of university visual art students and music students undertaking the course ‘Inter-Artistic Creative Thinking’, which concentrates on the stirrings and transformations of the role of the individual artist-student that are inexorably set in motion when learning occurs within an inter-arts collaborative environment. Topics addressed include artistic reciprocity through practical socialization and practice to ‘make the familiar strange’, inter-artistic creativity through sonic engagement, and ways to facilitate novel musical, visual and educational experiences and outcomes for both visual art and music university students beyond superimposed institutionalized specialisms.
