EDUCATION
I want to open the eyes of the young to the wonders of contemporary art.John Kaldor
Kaldor Public Art Projects works collaboratively with government and professional organisations to develop and support resources for primary, secondary and tertiary education, both public and private, around Australia. Our mission in education is to develop readily accessible and relevant programs for schools and tertiary institutions, combining the highest standards in education and contemporary art practice and creating innovative materials that inspire the imagination.
Kaldor Public Art Projects’ core belief is that learning about contemporary art encourages creativity and can also provide engaging avenues to literacy and numeracy in the classroom. Using new, immersive technologies provides an ideal medium for art education, allowing students to interactively explore and discover for themselves. Changing the traditional teacher-led learning paradigm, these technologies provide a new pedagogical approach and bring art making, project documentation and archives to life.
Five key goals define our approach to education:
