As an ethnic minority student pursuing a career in education, I am curious about how ethnicity plays a role in a student’s learning experience and identity formation. The nature of my research project lies in investigating teaching practices within the University of North Texas’ (UNT) Studio Art program. There will be a focused demographic for ethnic minority Drawing and Painting students at the undergraduate senior level since they will have the most breath of experience to draw upon. Furthermore, I plan to conduct a post-intentional, arts-based phenomenological research study (Vagle, 121). The meaning of this practice is to describe how human beings experience a certain phenomenon as a process – which is the complexity of ethnicity as it intersects art education. The goals for this research study include creating an extensive visual portraiture of the lived educational experiences of ethnic minority students and having the interviewed students’ voices heard/represented for pedagogical improvement.
