Both educational developers and faculty‐artists share the same goal: significant learning. Yet effective dialogue and collaboration between the two can be undermined without the educational developer's knowledge of signature pedagogies and discipline‐specific terminology in the various disciplines of art. We examine several assumptions about artists and how these assumptions can be overcome for the benefit of educational developers, faculty‐artists, and students. To this end, we provide suggestions for generating dialogue about teaching and learning with faculty‐artists and for making these dialogues fruitful.
