VAP2601 Assignment 2 Semester 1 Memo | Due 25 April 2025

Look at the literature on teacher values, successful teaching approaches for creative arts teaching, and at what constitutes a successful classroom climate for arts education. Look at the notes on the history of creative arts at schools in South Africa, on what children can learn from creative arts, and on what schools can achieve if the creative arts play an active role in education. Then tell us where you come from in terms of your culture, school experience and cultural learning.

Make a short film, TikTok movie, Instagram reel, cartoon, graphic novel or a PowerPoint presentation, or illustrate your creative arts teaching credo (it can combine graphics, pictures, writings, cartoons, etc) in which you introduce yourself, talk about where you come from and explain your values and approach to the classroom and cultural education. It can contain some elements of humour, honesty, vulnerability, vanity, and even provocation. Make it engaging, fun and thoughtful. It can be personal and reflect your own experiences in the creative arts or your background or school-based education in the arts (what it was or what it was not).
