Armstrong’s teaching emphasizes print media as a fluid, hybrid discipline, advocating its evolving nature across handcraft, digital, and conceptual realms. He supervises graduate students in studio disciplines (MFA/PhD) and collaborates with interdisciplinary programs, including Design and Cognitive Studies. His pedagogical approach integrates artistic practice with theoretical inquiry, reflecting his belief in art’s capacity to 'open the eyes' through eros-driven creation.
No scientific awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the text. His professional focus remains on studio practice, teaching, and interdisciplinary mentorship since joining York’s faculty in 2003.
