THE ARTS DRAFT SHAPE PAPER RELAEASED
The Arts Draft Shape Paper has been released.
It is a frightening document which proposes a participatory approach to The Arts rather than any deep learning! Visual Arts in NSW, will be reduced from 100 hours to 13 hours!
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! GO TO THE ACARA WEBSITE AND SUBMIT A RESPONSE.
THE ARTS SURVEY
It is important for the future of Visual Arts in Australia that this approach is rejected! We want an aspirational and not a regressive curriculum!
We are happy to change to something equal or better than what we have now - but this is NOT it!
Go to the VADEA website for much more information.

MORE REALISTIC SYLLABUS VIEW
Here is an article by Joanna Mendelssohn, giving a background to the current Visual Arts syllabus and noting how the synergy between a number of people and events has given us the rich and versatile document we work with today.

This is how I like to think of the VA syllabus - your thoughts??
Over the past three decades, the teaching of visual arts in New South Wales has diverged from the rest of the country to become an international leader in linking cognitive development to visual understanding.
