Ethical research made simple. I have created a simplified example to illustrate four principles of ethical research for VCD at every level. Actually, I'm leading these in with my Year 10s right now. Just remember; You have to have consent, it should observe confidentiality and anonymity, be respectful and be transparent. This new part of the resource can be found at the link below. Ideal if you're already a Target Learning VCD member. If not, join up this week.

Hey, here's why we all need to use Target Learning now and next year?!? This website was just shown to me by a graphic designer. Thanks, Zoe. (This page is one I am working on for the new VCD next year...)

Target Learning has just completed the 'Discover' phase of the rewrite for 2024. A team of four very experienced and high-performing teachers with assessing experience, met yesterday to share their ideas for each Area of Study for Units 1 and 2 VCD. Next step is the 'Define' stage where each of team will outline the work to be done in each outcome. Can't wait to show you all. Oh, and here are the new design process icons for Target Learning VCD 2024.

BTW The 2023 Target Learning VCD Unit 1 exam is out! Grab a copy to use for your class today. Based on the year 12 paper but pitched a bit easier to keep our kids engaged.

Don't talk to me about conventions - try rules!! I love deconstructed multi-surface architecture, but just one trip too many past the fast food restaurants in Armstrong Creek is putting me off. I mean what do you thin? I even made a swatch board for it.

Finally released! The Theory Reference Kit is available for purchase on Target Learning Resources now. At long last, a simple illustrated guide to the study terms in VCE Art Creative Practice 2023 and VCE Art Making and Exhibiting 2023 with teaching and learning strategies and over 200 guided prompt questions. Love to hear what you think??

Super, super excited to announce that the Art Creative Practice and Art Making and Exhibiting Theory Reference Kit is up to the testing stage with real Year 12 students! This booklet couples the popular A1 posters, reduced to A4 with heaps of prompt questions to engage students in each aspect of each Study Design term. This product was requested by two schools - and quite frankly, needs to be made! I will post when the road testing is complete.

And what product might this be? Branding. Communication. Messages.

Super excited to announce that the VCE Art Creative Practice and Making and Exhibiting classroom posters were sent off to print today and will be available next week.
