The NARRATIVE FOCUS

Pauline — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:30:31 +0000

‘Narrative’ has proved to be a captivating theme used in a variety of ways by members of our association with students from all phases of education. Our individual stories are what make us who we are. Humans have an innate need to express their story. You are sure to be inspired to incorporate the narrative theme into your programming for next year when you read the range of project ideas suitable for primary through to upper secondary.

We have featured Highgate Primary School and their three panel mural, which explores the cultural diversity of their students’ stories.

Fleur Schell, our feature artist who is a Ceramicist and the Director of Soda Studios, shares the story behind the inspiration for her whimsical and delicate porcelain objects and figures. We also introduce fellow artists of Soda Studio: Karen Millar, Alana McVeigh and showcase Rachel Zimmerman’s delightful collages.

Laurel Nannup has a very special story to tell through printmaking. Art on the Move has given us permission to include the Education package developed by them to support the A Story to Tell Travelling Exhibition.

Art Ed Journal

Pauline — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:34:28 +0000

The Art Ed Journal has been a magazine produced over the years which remains a valuable resource for those teachers fortunate enough to have been members of our Association over time.

The Journal includes reports, articles, ads for suppliers, reference lists, and Committee contacts. eg: flipping through some copies you may find anything from a street walk for the sculptures in Perth, starting with the Kangaroos in St Georges Tce. Turn a few page and there is a great write up of activities to do whilst on camp at Wharncliffe Mill Forrest Camp near Margaret River.

We have posted some of the older back issues of these Journals online (2001 to 2004) which cover themes such as Printmaking, Sculpture, Jewellery, New Teacher’s Survival Pack, WA ARTISTS, Multi media generated art, Textiles and the compilation of Visual Diaries. As a financial member you will receive complimentary copies of the ArtEd Journal, so why not consider joining up!

For ceramic enthusiasts there is information about how to make your own wood-fired raku kiln and examples of the pit fired works from the recently held ArtEd professional development weekend workshop. Most importantly, this issue contains primary and secondary programs focusing on Japanese tea bowls and a 2A program exploring a sense of place.
