Visual Arts Curriculum and Teaching 3

This unit provides opportunities to study curriculum issues and teaching and learning strategies related to art practice. A variety of curriculum models, including from local, national and international contexts will be examined in terms of their representation of art practice, research and the role of the teacher. Students will critically evaluate Discipline Based Art Education (DBAE) and other approaches to program design and classroom teaching practice. Such inquiry provides a means of exploring the cultural context of visual arts practice and the contribution that public and community arts resources can make to enrich the secondary student’s experience of learning within the arts curriculum. Engagement with museums, public and community art, as well as, exploring new forms of visual research, visual analysis and image-making form part of the studies in the unit
