Abstract: This dissertation compares art making with teaching and learning. A specific definition of art making is used as a metaphor for education and developed with support from three different authors, each representing a different perspective for considering educational theory and practice. A thematic analysis of each text was undertaken to establish common beliefs and to identify the particular contributions each would make to the research. M.C. Richards expresses the spiritual and personal dimension of teaching and learning in CENTERING: in Pottery, Poetry and the Person. Reflection on sociopolitical relationships is advocated by Maxine Greene in Landscapes of Learning. Eleanor Duckworth shares an experiential and wholistic approach to teaching and learning in "The Having of Wonderful Ideas" and Other Essays on Teaching and Learning. The final chapter suggests that all three women contribute a different voice to the discussion of an educational paradigm which is illustrated by the metaphor of teacher as artist.
