This visual arts classroom in primary schools plays an essential role in developing children’s critical and creative thinking. Teaching visual arts involves much more than teaching technical skills about creating art. Teachers need to guide student’s ability to reason, inquire and form concepts about artworks.
Ben Quilty’s artwork provides opportunities for students to explore the relationship between the subject matter in Quilty’s work and how the artwork is then formed. A range of activities can be created with these concepts in mind that challenge students to think about the important milestones or moments that may have affected their lives. Exploring and responding to Quilty’s work will give students an opportunity to reason and form concepts and ideas about why Quilty included certain images in his artwork and the messages behind them.
