Abstract
The Classroom collaborations: Art and Tasmanian primary school
project explores a need identified within national research and by
the Tasmanian Art Teachers Association (TATA) to better support
primary teachers to enact The Australian Curriculum: The Arts.
Within this project, Tasmanian primary teachers and their students
were mentored by a specialist art teacher to undertake an art
inquiry for a professionally curated exhibition, Entangled, which
showed in the Academy Gallery from the 22nd August - 23rd
September, 2017.
The exhibited art inquiries showcased explorations of community
based topics and issues of concern undertaken in alignment with
existing primary school learning programs. Ensuing formative
and summative evaluations of the mentors’ and teachers’
experiences are enabling the researchers to identify specific
challenges Tasmanian primary teachers encounter and navigate
in enacting curriculum change, and articulate the implications
these challenges pose for pedagogical transformation and student
learning in visual art.
The artworks shown in Entangled form part of a broader suite of
outcomes from the Classroom collaborations: Art and Tasmanian
primary school pilot project, which was made possible through
a University of Tasmanian Teaching Development Grant, and
is elucidating how primary teachers are enacting curriculum
change and delivering authentic visual art learning experiences in
Tasmania.
Entangled was presented as part of the Academy Gallery Active
Research Program. The Academy Gallery Active Research
Program aims to exhibit the research undertaken by the University
of Tasmania as a global educational provider.
Entangled was presented by the Academy Gallery as part of the
Junior Academy Program in partnership with the Tasmanian Art
Teaches Association and with the endorsement of Art Education
Australia (AEA). Visit the Entangled exhibition at the TATA online

Further teaching and learning materials developed in relation
to the Entangled exhibition are available for members of the
