Anette Helene Lund serves as Senior Lecturer in Art and Crafts at the Department of Teacher Education, Arts and Crafts, Film and Media within the Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her academic work bridges artistic practice with teacher education, focusing on how aesthetic learning processes can transform pedagogical approaches in arts and crafts education across multiple grade levels.

Dr. Lund's research centers on visual arts and communication, materials science, creativity, and exploratory workshop work, with particular emphasis on aesthetic learning processes and their significance for teaching practice. Her competence areas include participatory art, aesthetics, graphic design, creative processes, physical learning, arts and crafts, materials science, professional digital competence, interdisciplinary development, and visual communication. She approaches education through hands-on artistic practice combined with theoretical reflection, creating dynamic learning environments where students actively engage with materials and concepts.

Her publication trajectory reveals a consistent focus on aesthetic learning processes in teacher education, with recent work (2023-2025) increasingly examining interdisciplinary approaches that combine arts, crafts, and dance. Her research demonstrates how artistic processes shape professional identity development among teacher students, with particular attention to student participation in aesthetic learning and public art as a teaching tool. Lund's work shows strong connections between artistic practice and educational theory, creating innovative methodologies for teacher training.

Dr. Lund teaches numerous courses across NTNU's teacher education programs, including MGLU3118 - Art and Crafts Education 2 (1-7), LKUH001E - Arts and Crafts, MGLU4207 - Arts and Crafts: Exploring Materials and Techniques in Workshops, and MGLU4237 - Practical and aesthetic learning processes. Her teaching portfolio spans programs for grades 1-7 and 5-10, as well as master's level courses in arts and crafts education, demonstrating her comprehensive approach to art education at multiple levels.
