The overall aim of the article is to make visible and discuss the entangled process of student examination in visual arts teacher education in Sweden. We do this by investigating one student’s visual and textual exam, where learning through artistic work, research exploration and teaching didactics merges into the becoming of a visual arts teacher. The merging of becoming artist, researcher and teacher seems to open up to uncontrollable learning processes where affect, ethics and fluid movements of becoming-other are imagined, actualised, articulated and materialised.
