We have never discovered a culture on this planet, past or present, that doesn't have art. The arts are basic to the human experience.

This workshop takes a fresh look at understanding the role and importance of the visual arts in brain growth and cognitive function.

Why teach art! - Discussion around evidence-based outcomes for learning; its important role in human development, the need for schools to expose students to art and the quality of lifetime experience.

Art education and art integration with subjects in the core curriculum - 65% of the population are visual learners.
We will look at both 'stand alone' art programs as well as programs that integrate concepts and skills from the arts- into many areas of study.

Disaffected students - art facilitates open access to learning, greater emotional investment in projects and support of workplace expectations.

Discover innovative, international projects and community collaborative successes.

Participate in engaging creative activities.

Highly Practical
