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 features a webinar series examining internationally renowned contemporary artists. First Nations artist and Yorta Yorta / Wamba Wamba / Mutti Mutti / Boonwurrung woman, Maree Clarke, is set to headline the inaugural program, sharing her unique insights into her practice, culture and the revitalisation of south-east Australian Aboriginal art and culture.
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 resouces.
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.

Program Schedule
The VisualArts360 program will grant participants access to pre-recorded video interviews exploring curriculum related topics, online Q&A sessions hosted by ArtEdVic, and downloadable resources containing artist information, lesson plans and activities.
