In the article, I explore how contemporary artists Petra Cortright and Cory Arcangel use digital media in their artistic practices, and how this practice can inspire and challenge arts and crafts teaching with tablets in a first grade classroom. The project is part of my doctoral thesis and revolves around four workshops on exploratory and creative ways of using the tablet, in the spring of 2021. Didactically, the project draws on sensory didactic design. Sensory didactic design challenges the idea that knowledge is something that already exists and can be acquired by the student if the teacher is good at conveying it. Instead, knowledge and learning are seen as something that is constantly created between human and non-human actors. Methodologically, the article draws on a/r/tography, where the researcher does not observe from the outside, but helps to drive the research forward through an alternation between practicing, researching and teaching/learning. In the article's analysis, I show how encounters with the tablet, based on contemporary art, can be bodily, creative and relational.
