What is it about?
In this article, I re-present the findings from my arts-based dissertation. After providing a brief overview of the study and arts-based methods, I re-present each of my findings by means of excerpts from original found poems, brief narrative summaries, and mini visual essays comprised of images of participants’ artwork and visual journals. This article, therefore, provides a glimpse into both the process and product of my dissertation as well as my attempts to continually make sense of it as I search for ways to share portions of it with the world.

Why is it important?
Ultimately, this study, including the results, presentation, and now re-presentation, reveals the nuances of a brief moment along preservice art teachers’ journeys of becoming artist-teachers. These findings and re-presentation carry implications for PK-12 art education, art teacher preparation, as well as arts-based research as a methodology.
Perspectives
This article is an exploration of how I could re-present the findings from my dissertation. I enjoyed finding a way to weave found poetry, visual essays, and written narrative from my dissertation together.
