MOVE: Video art in schools
MOVE: Video art in schools was produced in partnership with the New South Wales Department of Education and is a collection of video art works distributed to secondary schools for use in the classroom. Twelve leading Australian artists were commissioned for this program providing an education edition of their work solely for use in schools. The works are supplied on DVD and are packaged together with support materials that provide information on the artists, their works and the context of video art making. Student activities are also included, providing avenues for participation and creative engagement.

MOVE: Video art in schools includes work by Daniel Crooks, Shaun Gladwell, The Kingpins, Todd McMillan, Jess MacNeil, Tracey Moffatt, TV Moore, Patricia Piccinini, David Rosetzky, Grant Stevens, John Tonkin and Daniel von Sturmer.

Provided free of charge to public secondary schools, the resource is now present in most states across Australia, in over 1500 schools, and will be Australia-wide in 2011.

InTouch contemporary art in Primary schools:
Kaldor Public Art Projects has worked with the New South Wales Department of Education since May 2010 to develop InTouch: Contemporary Art in Primary Schools, their first resource for use on interactive whiteboards. Conceived as an engaging way to present their art projects, the 80-page pilot resource focuses on the recent 19th Kaldor Public Art Project, War and peace and in between, created by Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney from October 2009–February 2010.

Public Art: Teaching Excellence:
Based on its new e5 instruction model for quality teaching, the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has developed a Kindergarten to Year 6 art education resource based on ‘Public Art’ and, in particular, on the past Kaldor Public Art Projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Long and Jeff Koons.

The publication features past Kaldor Public Art Projects by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Long and Jeff Koons as a way of engaging students with contemporary art practice and in particular to explore ‘public art’. Public Art, Teaching Excellence, the first in a series of publications on professional learning, will be distributed to Victorian schools in 2011.

Art projects education kits:
Produced by the Art Gallery of New South Wales, these Education notes for each Kaldor Public Art Project include the artist biography, project description, a thematic essay and quotes along with suggested issues for discussion and selected references.
