‘Making’, as a bodily activity in which humans are related to materials, has been considered a cornerstone of arts education. Interestingly, however, the concept of making traditionally tends to be poorly illuminated because it accompanies carnal and repetitive performance compared to the concept of ‘creation’ that accompanies intelligent novelty. In this sense, this essay attempts to rethink the concept of making in order to clarify the meaning of making and articulate our self-transformation in the process of making, by assuming that making is the correspondence between human and non-human/materials rather than assuming it as hylomorphism. To do so, this essay introduces Tim Ingold and Jane Bennett’s material theories based on the New Materialism philosophy, which understand the meaning of making in the aspects of materiality rather than mentality. Finally, the essay attempts to show how the act of making can be educationally resourceful, exemplifying a post-humanistic approach to teaching and learning of arts education.
