I’m Xavier Golden (he/him), and I’m an undergraduate art education student at Grand Valley State University. This past summer, I’ve been a Library Research Scholars, which is one of the Office of Undergraduate Research (now the Center for Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement) summer programs.
One of the goals of the Library Research Scholars (LRS) program is to equip students with the tools to produce an artifact that incorporates information literacy, critical thinking, and the attitude of a lifelong learner into its design. Early on in the summer, I decided to make a scholarly resource guide, and over time that guide became this blog.
After a series of interviews with working art educators, some reading on the art education landscape in the year 2021, and participating in several LRS cohort discussions on the topics of information literacy, schools of design, and the flaws and best practices of academia, I created a prototype of the blog and went from there.
If you’d like to hear more about the process, you can view my poster presentation for the project below. Visit the How to use this blog and Table of contents pages for somewhere to start reading.
