VCE Art: Implementing the new syllabus

[renee@internal.schools.net.au (Renee Hoareau)]

Hello Victorian Art Colleagues,
I thought I would give a plug for a subject being run by Dr. Christopher Marshall at the University of Melbourne. This course will help to teach the interpretive frameworks identified in units 3 and 4 of the new study design.

It is a very worthwhile initiative, pertinent especially for Art teachers tackling the requirements and resourcing of the new VCE course. Monash Uni, Melbourne Uni and Art Education Victoria are to be congratulated for providing such valuable professional development program.

VCE Art: Implementing the new syllabus introduces a ground breaking program in both the practical and theoretical aspects of the VCE, designed to meet the needs of VCE teachers by developing knowledge and skills. 

VCE Art: Theory will be taught at the School of Fine Arts, University of Melbourne. Dates: Mondays 1 May - 5th June from 5.15 - 7.45pm with the exception of Week 5 class, to be taght on-site at the Ian Potter Museum of Art on Thursday 1 June.

It will be followed in Term Three by a subject on the practical components of VCE Art and Studio Arts, to be taught at Monash Unviersity, Caulfield campus, Tuesdays from 24 July through to 28 August.
