The Shape of the Australian Curriculum: the Arts sets the broad direction for the writing of the Australian Curriculum for the Arts.

The Arts Resources site provides curriculum support resources to assist teachers to deliver the AusVELS curriculum.

The Arts domain encompasses a diverse and ever-changing range of disciplines and forms that can be used to structure teaching and learning programs.

This site contains links to Arts-related learning and teaching support materials such as websites, publications, assessment examples, professional learning support and links to current research in the area of Arts education.

The Victorian Curriculum F–10 incorporates the Australian Curriculum and reflects Victorian priorities and standards. In Levels 7 and 8, students make and respond to visual artworks. They design and create visual expressions of selected themes and concepts through a variety of visual arts forms and styles. Students develop an informed opinion about artworks based on their research of current and past artists. They examine their own culture and develop a deeper understanding of their practices as an artist.
