EDF5182 · Visual art and design education in the secondary years 2B

Overview

This unit builds on coursework undertaken in EDF5181 Visual art and design education in the secondary years 2A. It enables pre-service visual art and design teachers to build knowledge and skills in curriculum design through teaching studio-based practice. Drawing on national and international research literature and curricula, it explores a range of issues with respect to classroom pedagogy in the visual arts that are specific to aesthetic education, including a discussion of the interdisciplinary relationships between artists, designers and teachers and their impact for conceptions of student experience. Through focusing on the place of aesthetic principles in the art classroom and through working collaboratively and independently, you will gain knowledge and skills in extending your own artistic practice to your pedagogical practice. You will apply that knowledge and those skills in building a professional identity that recognises your own students' learning via the art and design curriculum and your own needs as a developing practitioner and professional.
