Art, craft and design education: making a mark. Why Art Education? Why Art Education? What does art education do for the individual and for society? Why do we teach art? How does art contribute to education at all levels? There are many good answers to these questions, but three stand out as crucial in today's social and economic climate. We believe that art-and therefore art education-means three things that everyone wants and needs. Art Means Work Beyond the qualities of creativity, self-expression, and communication, art is a type of work.
This is what art has been from the beginning. Art Means LanguageArt is a language of visual images that everyone must learn to read. Art Means ValuesYou cannot touch art without touching values: values about home and family, work and play, the individual and society, nature and the environment, war and peace, beauty and ugliness, violence and love. We in the National Art Education Association are committed to this three-part statement about the importance of art instruction for America's children. 11-department-education-curriculum-review.pdf. National curriculum for art 2014, implications. | Dan's art stuff. This is a copy of a summary prepared for a short briefing for primary teachers, about the new national curriculum for art 2014. In broad terms it suggests that the new curriculum sustains the conceptual framework from previous years and, therefore, does not require schools to change, unless they wish to do so.
The subject content is so vague and open ended that schools should feel free to follow their own interests and experience in developing their curriculum. If schools do wish to change the new version can be seen as an opportunity to move away from a curriculum predicated upon three termly, themed units of work. Aims The new national curriculum retains the fundamental conceptual framework of all the previous versions of the national curriculum. Assessment The four aims are particularly significant because, although ‘national curriculum levels’ are being abandoned, there is an increasing demand for schools to track progress and develop an assessment framework across the curriculum.

'Dear Nicky Morgan, it's time to stop viewing arts and music as second-class subjects' James Rhodes, classical pianist who is heading up the Don't Stop the Music campaign, writes: This year I went back to primary school. Not to polish up on my reading, writing and arithmetic, but to find out just what the state of music education is for our children. I was not expecting what I found.
Sure, I didn’t imagine every school would have its own orchestra, but I was shocked to discover that some schools have no proper music lessons whatsoever. Today Nicky Morgan will give her first major speech as education secretary. It’s her opportunity as the newly appointed secretary of state to set out what the government plans to do to ensure that every child gets a good education. Ever since the 1990s, politicians of all parties have put education right at the top of their agenda. Three years ago in the National Plan for Music Education, the government declared: “Children from all backgrounds and every part of England should have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument”.
