Based on the assignment 'image archive', Anne Gruber shows how an attentiveness she developed during her studies to questions from art theory, cultural studies and art can be integrated in her practice as a visual arts teacher. Gruber allows the reader to see how the collaboration with FLAKS as a student and as teacher, each in their specific configurations, were designed differently, and how this collaboration supported and advanced the reflection on and further development of teaching methodology considerations for the visual arts teacher.
