Running head: TEACHING VISUAL ARTS1Abstract Visual is a discipline that encompasses fine arts and contemporary arts. Fine arts include sculpture making, drawing, painting, and printmaking.

Teachers who teach Visual Arts encounter several challenges while administering lessons tostudents.

TEACHING VISUAL ARTS2I interviewed a teacher who teaches Visual Arts and I learned much in terms of how she worked ant taught her lessons. I also got to understand how she got through her lessons, the various materials she used and also some of the challenges she faced. She uses school lesson plans from other teachers in her school and also on and off the Australian Curriculum in the visual arts resource section. The Australian Curriculum covers five arts subjects namely: dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts. I was able to understand how she balances plans from the other teachers and the Australian Curriculum to come up with a good and relevant plan for her students. The Australian Curriculum in Visual Arts provides the teacher with important guidelines for effective teaching. It encourages teachers to develop student outline of work using their (students) cultural content through multiple visual arts media. Teachers are encouraged to use regular, formal and informal evaluation by the curriculum.She has not yet created any visual partnerships outside of her school networks although she has a great network of arts teachers in the higher grades that have given her a lot of support and she is able to shelve off some ideas from them. It would be important for her to create partnership outside the school since this will expose her to more ideas instead of limiting herself to just what is available in her school. Outside partnerships also mean that her students also get to learn what students from other schools are doing, thereby promoting the exchange of ideas. I also got to learn about the various challenges that she faced while teaching Visual Arts. She lacks resource materials to use in her lessons. She also stated that there was not enough time to cover lesson content. She suggested that double lessons would allow students to become more

TEACHING VISUAL ARTS3emerged within their work and would give her more time to spend on one on one time with the students.I have come across some other sources that the teacher may incorporate in order to enhance her teaching in Visual Art. The Tasmanian Art Teachers Association (TATA) offers education advice and information to members who join it. TATA promotes visual art education according to policy and syllabus development. Hayles (2016), states that art teachers in Tasmania are open to sharing their experiences with other teachers. They have established informal open class sessions whereby lessons plans and teaching resources are readily shared. These classes started as a result of a suggestion from a fellow teacher in order to bring together art teachers who feel left out, especially those whose art school departments are very small. The Teacher I interviewed could benefit from this. If she joined TATA she could have a lot to gain inlesson planning and also materials for teaching.The teacher would also benefit from the Australian Curriculum, Assessment And Reporting Authority (ACARA). It covers all subjects in arts, Visual Arts is one of them (Dinham, 2014). ACARA will widen the scope of the teacher’s coverage and exposure due to its wide range of content. Another source of that the teacher could use is Arts Pop, which showcases how students can be involved in processes of making, presenting and critiquing visualarts.From my interview with the teacher, I have anticipated some problems that I may encounter while teaching visual Arts. The lack of resources in teaching Visual Arts is a common problem experienced by Visual Art teachers from all over the world (Alter, 2014). This is because Visual Arts requires more practice than theory. Many schools do not take art seriously like other subjects hence allocating little resources to art, leaving the teacher with no choice but
