Our teaching practices and research include being awake to would-be artistry by encouraging a curiosity of learning. In these spaces we have learned to be open to surprise, play, and possibilities. As we make arts-informed methods integral to teaching and learning, we purposefully engage; in our classroom is where experiences call forth inquiry. In this paper we make visible four common threads. These threads include: considering the ontological and epistemological underpinnings of our practices; the signi cance of relationships; playfulness, imagination, and world travelling; and reconsidering our teaching and research practices.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={LEARNing Landscapes}, author={Caine, Vera and Sommerfeldt, Susan and Berendonk, Charlotte and Compton, Roslyn M.}, year={2016}, month={Apr.}, pages={127-141} }
