I quickly rushed into my room and was blinded by a startling light. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I stared at what was giving the light off the, and as I had predicted, it was my golden jar giving off the light. It was shattered into a million pieces and glowing as if it had been on fire. I carefully reached into the glowing hemisphere and pulled out what had been in the jar the whole time I had it.

This project uses co-learning strategies to guide students in using media art to explore their identities. My goal is to help art educators and other readers understand how student centered learning can enrich the experience of both students and teachers investigating identity. My research questions are: What happens when students are invited to explore the complexity of their identities through media art? How can I, from an "outsider" perspective, guide my students to explore culture and identity? Coming from a traditional educational background, how can I employ student-centered learning to structure my student-teaching? I conducted this seven-week action research project in a public high school on Chicago's west side. Mexican immigrants comprise the majority of the school's student body. The surrounding neighborhood struggles with gangs and gun violence, poverty, and the criminalization of brown and black youth by police. Traveling between home and school often poses safety concerns for students. Because many students also work part-time jobs before or after school, they are frequently tired in class, which affects their participation and productivity. In conducting my research, I focused more on students' planning and concepts than on their completed art. I documented and reflected on my teaching and my conversations with individual students as well as their conversations among themselves. I also collected and analyzed students' artwork and writings. As participants in the IB Middle Years Programme, they strive to be creative, critical and reflective artists and thinkers. Practicing art, however, is not like practicing science; there are many ways to solve a problem. When students were invited to explore their identity, they expressed resistance against the project because they were unfamiliar with the subject matter and fearful of presenting their thoughts. I listened patiently to their concerns and explained that it takes courage to learn new things about ourselves and that struggle is part of any successful endeavor. With this support, many students overcame their shyness and discomfort, and started to find their voices as artists and self-advocates. This research provides a resource for further exploration in individual and community advocacy through art-making.
