Another feature we were enjoying about Blogger was that we were able to share links to current articles and this allowed us to guide learners online surfing. This also meant that we weren’t confined to textbooks for theory examples, but we could teach from current happenings in the art world. For example, in 2012 when The Spear saga was all over the news we were able to integrate it into the Art and Politics syllabus. The learners loved learning about something current and the media hype had peaked their interest before our formal theory discussions began.

Mrs Moore also included the Marikana strikes in her blog and I am sure it influenced Roanne to create this artwork a year later.

We are also working with the KZNSA producing educational content about current exhibitions. These blog is shared with other schools and is funded by the Lotto Social Art Program, which means underprivileged schools are able to access colour resources by skilled art educators.
