Cultivating Creativity: Best Practices for the Art Classroom

This space is where I reflect on all things Visual Arts, education, and equity. As a Visual Arts teacThis space is dedicated to thoughtful reflection on Visual Arts education, creative practice, and equity. As a Visual Arts teacher and higher degree researcher based in Brisbane, I use this blog to document and share research-informed perspectives on contemporary education through a feminist standpoint lens.

My writing sits at the intersection of classroom practice and academic inquiry. Drawing on my experience as a secondary Visual Arts educator, alongside postgraduate research, this blog explores themes of teacher self-efficacy, professional identity, artistry, and the ethical integration of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, in Visual Arts education.

Here, you’ll find:

• Reflective commentary on contemporary issues in Visual Arts and arts education
• Classroom-ready Visual Arts resources grounded in real teaching practice
• Professional updates from my higher degree research journey
• Research-informed reflections and excerpts exploring self-efficacy, gender, identity, and artistry in art education

This blog is written for educators, researchers, and those interested in the role of creativity, critical inquiry, and equity in education. My hope is that these posts prompt reflection, challenge assumptions, and offer practical and intellectual value to those working in and alongside Visual Arts education.
