International Symposium in Visual ArtsEducation: Sydney/Illinois Connections

Thisinternational symposium is a collaborative initiative between Australian Catholic Universi

Faculty of Education NSW, Illinois State University and the Visual Arts and Design EducatorsAssociation of NSW. With a view to enriching understanding of Visual Arts education in a glob

forum, this program builds on research currently being conducted in art education by

international colleagues in Illinois and Sydney about the nature of curriculum development an

the teaching of art and design in secondary schools in NSW. The symposium aims to offer

visiting Illinois educators further insights into our practices in teaching and learning and

curriculum development in NSW and for NSW art and design educators to learn more about

Illinois pre-service art teacher education and schooling. The program is timely because it

provides the opportunity for art teachers to reflect on and develop their current practices in th

classroom in the adaptation of recent research about art making and art criticism. Discussionwill move beyond the reductive approach to curriculum in the Arts as proposed in national

curriculum agendas in Australia and the USA.
