Undergraduate
Subject coordinator: Anne Bamford

Visual arts and craft is an essential component of primary education. This subject aims to develop skills and positive attitudes in an intellectual, practical and aesthetic context. Students study theories and research on child art development and apply this knowledge to the development of imaginative, exciting and sequential learning programs in visual arts and craft. Students explore the nature of art. A range of making and appreciation activities enables students to gain a detailed understanding of the diverse and comprehensive nature of visual arts in the classroom. Students develop competencies in both two- and three-dimensional forms, and are encouraged to reflect upon the importance of art in the total education of the child.
