Abstract
This year-long study shares a collaborative narrative inquiry project performed by four graduate students and one faculty member to understand the factors that influenced our paths to art education. We collected data by writing, analyzing, and then reflecting on stories of our experiences. Through careful analysis we identified five different hubs of experience that significantly affected our paths to the field: early experiences and family, school art experiences, mentors, identity, and young adult experiences. By thinking through our experiences, analyzing our narratives, and identifying the hubs, we came to a greater understanding of the influences on our paths to art education. These understandings inform our teaching practices enabling us to support students in meaningful ways.
