The literature shows preservice and early career teachers generally feel inadequate about their capacity to foster ‘Creativity’ through the visual arts with the children they teach.

© B. Wade-Leeuwen, (2011). Unpublished PhD Thesis, Department of Education, Macquarie University

How can ‘Creativity’ be fostered in Teachers through the Visual Arts?

This PhD study investigates ways of fostering ‘Creativity’ in teachers. It integrates the Visual Arts with other Creative Arts strands (music, dance, drama, media). These Workshops are designed to encourage

teachers-in-training to foster ‘Creativity’ firstly in themselves so they can more effectively mentor the children they teach.

Aboriginal perspectives in Creative Arts (Harrison, 2011, p.190) encourages teachers to incorporate Aboriginal

perspectives in the classroom. Some ways of doing this In visual arts use Deidre Stokes’ Desert Dreaming's (2004) ask children to interpret paintings using these symbols and keys.
