Exploring Visual Arts

My learning journey continues. I am beginning to recognise the importance of the visual arts as the building blocks to develop the processes and creativity within the digitial mediums of photography, design, animation, web and video.

I am investigating the Visual Arts programmes within secondary schools and, was invited to the HB Art Teacher's Association meeting in Havelock North High. I am hoping for feedback from them regarding the uses of digital technologies within their teaching/learning areas. There is evidence that this is developing in some schools, but of course, dependant on the teacher's experitise and availability of the technologies. I plan to further this investigation into those schools where such programmes have developed.

ArtsOnline provides excellent resources and support for teachers in this subject area.
