You have an interesting research topic. I teach college art education,
including art criticism. I have made art and exhibited it, and this
informs my teaching. Many years ago I stopped making art to devote more
time to writing. Recently, I began making art again, but not for
exhibition. I wrote and published art criticism, and this informs my
teaching of art criticism. Currently, I am not writing art criticism
because I am devoting more time to writing about teaching art criticism. I
teach art criticism to learners of all ages in schools and museums, and
this informs my teaching and writing about the subject. I also find it
informative to talk to and read about those who make art professionally and
to those who write art criticism professionally and to those who teach
about such things. I think there are many ways, not one way, to be
informed about what one teaches. I hope you post what you find about this
topic. Best wishes.
