This posting triggers a line of thinking I have about links between curriculum learning areas.

I am now beginning to view arts education as providing a pedagogic base for making such links.

Before, in my mind 'art' was always an 'add-on' ! Now, the generating-realising-responding strategy (and the arts curriculum docs that support this) gives me confidence to integrate learning areas.

The "I can't draw for toffee" mind-set I've had for eons is being replaced; I've begun to use a basic 'How to Draw' straight lines and much else book, to improve my skills and understandings for a lesson sequence in a teaching-learning the 2D-3D transition that occurs in maths development.
