Art Education Victoria’s professional development program is tailored to support primary school teachers to meaningfully integrate visual arts and Cross Curricular Priorities (CCP) in their classroom.
About
The program includes comprehensive resource packages examining a internationally renowned contemporary artists in each module. Designed to support both generalist primary school educators and primary school art educators, the program incorporates the Foundation to Year 6 Victorian visual arts curriculum and CCP. Downloadable resources and interactive opportunities are provided over the course of two years to ensure educators have a meaningful professional development experience and practical classroom resources.
The program will delve into the artworks and the artists’ practices as well as add voices from a sustainability perspective to provide a platform to explore topics related to the world around us. The voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists are one of many voices that will make up the VisualArts360 professional development program. Please note this program does not teach First Nations art-making techniques or specific protocols.

Module 1: Maree Clarke (Out Now)
Maree Clarke is a pivotal figure in the reclamation of southeast Australian Aboriginal art practices, reviving elements of Aboriginal culture that were lost – or laying dormant – over the period of colonisation, as well as a leader in nurturing and promoting the diversity of contemporary southeast Aboriginal artists. “My art is about regenerating cultural practices, making people aware of, you know, our culture, and that we are a really strong culture, and that we haven’t lost anything; I think they’ve just been, some of these practices have been laying dormant for a while.” Maree Clake |

Jenna Lee is a First Nations Gulumerridjin (Larrakia), Wardaman and KarraJarri Saltwater woman with mixed Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Anglo-Australian (Irish and Scottish) ancestry. Driven to create work that transforms the scars of colonialism, Lee builds on a foundation of her father’s staunch teachings of culture and her mother’s gentle teachings of paper craft. “If I was to summarise my practice in five words I would say: transformation, translation, materials, archive and language.” Jenna Lee |
