In the studio, there are routines and rituals to be observed. One of those is making gesso. The quantities change each time and the ingredients vary, but the mechanical process remains the same: soak rabbit skin glue for 3 hours, double burner melt the glue, sieve in champagne chalk whiting, stir slowly, and tap the sides to remove air bubbles. Brush on first layer. Dry. Sand. Repeat × 10. Out of repetition each new territory is unique with its own lumps, drips and curves on a straight edge board. Making gesso is a kind of ritornello. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, a ritornello is a repetition leading to a transformation; it is a methodical kind of time that is rhythmic, local and spatiotemporal. It contravenes the idea of a universal, overarching time to consider heterogeneous, plural experiences of time in the art classroom. Ritornellos exist in both the studio and the art classroom, but in the art classroom, they often sediment into endless repetitions without rupture: tonal scales, colour wheels, drawing grids and pastiche. We apply the concept of ritornello to pedagogy in Secondary Art and Design education to think about school art orthodoxies and how they can be reterritorialised.

里托内洛教育学：令人不安的学校艺术正统


在工作室里，有一些例行公事和仪式需要遵守。其中之一是制作石膏。每次的数量都不同，成分也不同，但机械过程保持不变：将兔皮胶浸泡 3 小时，双燃烧器融化胶水，用香槟粉笔白粉筛，慢慢搅拌，轻敲侧面以去除气泡。在第一层上刷。干。沙。重复× 10。在重复中，每个新领域都是独一无二的，在直边板上有自己的块状、滴落和曲线。制作石膏是一种 ritornello。借鉴德勒兹和瓜塔里，ritornello 是导致转变的重复;这是一种有节奏的、局部的和时空的有序的时间。它与在艺术课堂上考虑异质的、多元的时间体验的普遍、总体时间的理念相悖。Ritornellos 存在于工作室和艺术教室中，但在艺术教室中，它们经常沉淀成无休止的重复而没有断裂：音阶、色轮、绘画网格和模仿。我们将 ritornello 的概念应用于中学艺术和设计教育的教学法，以思考学校艺术的正统观念以及如何将它们重新地域化。
