Pedagogical goldmine 'Wicked Arts Assignments' is back in stock!

Featured spreads are from Wicked Arts Assignments: Practising Creativity in Contemporary Arts Education, back in stock from Valiz! Organized around the following themes—Go Public, Narrate, Remix, Explore Nature, Engage, Soul Search, Make Some Noise, Localize, Build & Move, Keep in Time and Hack—this witty, poetic and uninhibited pedagogical goldmine collects approximately 100 arts assignments meant to foster cross-pollination and creative growth across visual arts, performance, theater, music and design practices. “A good assignment makes you smile,” Erik Schrooten explains in a published interview, “because it has something special, is unusual. A strong assignment is also sufficiently restricted to prevent students from drowning in a sea of possibilities. Personally, I like assignments that are made up of a number of consecutive instructions. Step one, step two, step three… You could call them guided assignments. Within the steps you allow total freedom, striking a balance between guidance and openness. As students become more skillful, your assignments can become more open. This means that a student’s personal fascination can become the starting point for an original creation.”
