Hello to Art Colleagues

[renee@internal.schools.net.au]

Hello to all "arty" colleagues,
It was a great surprise and wholehearted endorsement that this mailing list be established. A big thankyou to Anne Smith from Shepparton for the request and taking on the responsibility of list owner. 

This forum has great potential for discussion of issues concerning art teachers K-12 as well as VCE Art and Studio Arts. 
A current topical issue are the changes to VCE Art and Studio Arts courses and the successes of the professional development days. How did they go? Do you need further follow up? Resourcing the changes to course? How many of us are familiar and expert in post 1970 Art?
The assistance and support may be here.

This forum could also be a avenue for you to discuss teaching and learning approaches. For example, teachers could provide handy hints related to materials when using "infrared film" or how do I do that 20 colour screenprint? As we know students  have individual needs in subjects like these and no art teacher is an expert in all. 

I am looking forward to your participation.

Renee
