Welcome to Art Education Australia���s
collaborative digital learning and teaching space
A Message from our President, Professor Margaret Baguley:
Dear Art Education Colleagues, we realise that some people may need to provide quality learning experiences on-line due to the challenging situation caused by the Coronavirus. The AEA Committee thought it would be helpful to share some of our favourite resources that might assist with presenting and delivering engaging art experiences to support your students. We also invite you to share your resources if possible to assist other educators during this time.
Thank you and we wish you well.
To kick off this digital learning and teaching space the Art Education Australia (AEA) Committee has created a Top 10 of go-to digital resources for remote and online teaching and learning in the visual arts. We invite you to add where you can and help us to create a big working document for art education in Australia.
NB., This is an open digital tool to assist art educators. It is not a definitive list and we invite users to add and develop this list of resources and links. Remember to use appropriate netiquette when sharing information.
