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.

Conference success
Wow, what a conference!
Such a wonderful mix of issues and perspectives expressed by so many outstanding contributors in art education and the Visual Arts. So many ideas to mull over the next few days.
I love Visual Arts...
For me, the conference further concreted my love for my teaching subject, and further highlighted the urgent need to preserve the subject for future generations. There is so much to lose in compromising the quality of the subject and so much to gain in moving forward.
Count me in for the work we must do to make sure the National Curriculum values our subject as much as we do.
I look forward to updates on the Blog site, Face Book, Twitter and the brand new and very beautiful VADEA website.
