The Premiers Teaching Scholarships are awarded to teachers across all systems and are for a five week studytour. The Premiers COFA Visual Arts Scholarship provides $15,000 for the recipient to conduct their study tour.

The 2013 Gene Sherman Asian Art Scholarship was awarded to Jackie Boon, Newtown High School of the

Performing Arts.

The 2013 Premiers COFA Visual Arts Scholarship was awarded to Karen King, teacher at Caroline ChisholmCollege and a VADEA NSW Executive member. Below is an outline of Karens plans for the scholarship.

Karens study investigates how collaborative interventions between artists, architects and communities haveprovided opportunities for re-engagement, renewal or regeneration in areas of social and cultural change. The fiveweek study tour will visit Japan where Karen will look at two rural areas in Echigo Tsumari and the Seto Islandsthat have become important contemporary art sites which have regenerated these local communities. In Tokyo,Karen will also be meeting with artists and architects who have responded to the needs of those affected by theTohuku earthquake and Tsunami through projects such as Archi+Aid.

Karen will also travel to Paris to see the work of French/Australian architecture group Campement Urbain withmarginalised communities in the Paris suburbs as well as look at the work of the Institute of Architectures schoolsprogram. Also in France, Karen will also study the impact of interventions by architects and artists in Marseillesdeveloped within the 2013 European Capital of Culture program in sites and projects such as Friche de la Belle deMai and Les Quartiers Creatifs.

In England, Karen will meet with educators at the Tate Gallery London and Tate, Liverpool as well as educatorswith the Liverpool Biennal to look at their projects with schools and communities. Each of these sites providesdifferent approaches to collaborative or participatory contemporary art practices and will provide models fordeveloping visual arts programs in which students make and understand socially engaged art.

Karen's proposed project grew out of her recent work in western Sydney based on the innovative CampementUrbain urban plan, Penrith of the Future/ The Future of Penrith. Other architecture and urban design projects suchas the SuperSydney Project and her work as part of the team developing the Transforming the Local teachingresource with the NSW Architects Registration Board.

THE PREMIERS TEACHING SCHOLARSHIPS

PAGE 2

Being awarded the scholarship is a great honour and it is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the culture ofscholarly research that is the hallmark of NSW art education. The Premiers COFA Visual Arts TeachingScholarship encourages Visual Arts teachers to be researchers and the work of past recipients is building anarchive that redefines and enlivens interpretations of the syllabus as well as generating new approaches for arteducators.

Through my work in the classroom and in professional

development work, I have been looking at potential for

positive change for communities through activeinvolvement in art and architectural interventions such as

the urban design and landscape plans for Penrith or the

Museum of Contemporary Art C3 West projects here in

Western Sydney. I hope to look at programs run in schools

and museums and local communities overseas that have

promoted regeneration and renewal through art works, art

events and architectural design. From the study, I hope to

be able to bring back ideas for Visual Arts curriculum

programs and project that would enable students to be

informed and critical participants in their own localcommunity. Karen King

in these changing contexts? Should the celebration of

implications for the way we teach and what we teach in

schools and universities and for creative practice?
