Aboriginal Education and the Arts Policy (Draft).
Price, Kaye
This document outlines a policy for the art education of and about Aboriginal people. Teachers in art education should have an understanding of Aboriginal education issues, and developers of art programs should consult with Aboriginal people before beginning work on a program and continuously throughout development. Teachers should take into account differences in the preferred learning styles of Aboriginal students. Aboriginal artists should be encouraged within the teaching/learning environment. Art teachers should be aware of sensitive issues such as: authenticity, accuracy, and cultural specificity. Spiritual significance, correct terminology, and the meaning and translation of "The Dreaming" also should be considered by the art educator. (MM)
