Abstract

<p>This paper presents a case study of a graduation project of painting-making under my guidance. With an awareness of the power of painting over its painter, like sympathetic magic, I mentored the project in a dialogic manner, so that the student maintained autonomy of direction, interpretation, and evaluation of her work. To facilitate an intuitive and imaginative painting-making, which emphasizes students’ context and self-reliance, it seems fundamental for facilitators to maintain a dialogic vessel to hold the process, rather than to objectify the student with aesthetic criticism. The student in this case created a series of paintings over a year culminating in a large painting titled Princess Jellyfish. The emergence of the image of the princess was a surprise, and at the same time, an assurance to me, as someone who was also in search of the image. Such fusion can be dangerous but also conducive to overcoming the separation between student and teacher. Consequently, it allows negotiation of the dual nature of art as both object and experience. This paper shows the process of the project from both the student’s and teacher’s perspective，through the lens of C. G. Jung’s “transference” and a conceptualization of painting-making as an “alchemical project”. Then, I discuss the role of the facilitator in dialogic teaching.</p>
