Abstract
Written from an Adult Community Learning (ACL) perspective, this research is part of a wider study that interrogates artist-teacher identity (trans)formation. This article explores artist-teacher identity with reference to identity models and character traits. The Department for Education outline ACL as including “community based and outreach learning opportunities, primarily managed and delivered by local authorities and general further education colleges designed to bring together adults” (DfE, 2019). Learners are typically ages 19+ (House of Commons, 2020:5). ACL falls under FE. The research employs a mixed methodology including a literature-based review, including key texts from Alan Thornton (2012, 2013), as well as participant research with the use of online surveys. The research helps to produce new knowledge around the identity and understanding of the artist-teacher from the viewpoint of artist-teachers, managers of artist-teachers and learners of artist-teachers, within an ACL context. The results of the research include the development of a new identity model and typologies of the artist, teacher and artist-teacher.
