Making and Being draws upon the lived experience of Susan Jahoda and Caroline Woolard, visual arts educators who have developed a framework for teaching art with the collective BFAMFAPhD that emphasizes contemplation, collaboration, and political economy.

The authors share ideas and pedagogical strategies that they have adapted to spaces of learning which range widely, from self-organized workshops for professional artists to Foundations BFA and MFA thesis classes. This hands-on guide includes activities, worksheets, and assignments and is a critical resource for artists and art educators today.

Making and Being is a book, a series of videos, a deck of cards, and an interactive website with freely downloadable content.

"This project's socially based approach to art and design education hits a nerve with today's generation of active makers." –Ellen Lupton, author and curator
