This 1 minute video explores the 'Arts Education Imperatives Research' at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education. Our research is focused on exploring how the arts provide education possibilities to transform personal, social and cultural dimensions. We believe that it is essential we interrogate the positive outcomes of arts rich experiences as we strive to create a more sustainable way of living amidst a growing recognition of systemic inequities and the need for change.

Musicking with Sanjeevani is an initiative (based out of India) where the power of music is experienced and leveraged for personal growth through crafted learning modules and workshops.
It is based on the premise that music is integral to human existence. It has biological, cognitive, spiritual, and cultural implications that hold the potential to transform an individual. For children and youth, ‘musicking’ helps in character building and personality development, while for adults ‘musicking’ serves to fulfil unfulfilled potentials and empower emotionally. For everyone, musicking has a tangible impact on overall health- physical, mental, and emotional.

As a tragic person in ancient Greece, a resurgent by the archaeologists and a little ambassador of United Nations, Myrtis connects the current Coronavirus Pandemic to the Great Athenian Plague, and encourages the young children all over the world to fight against diseases and hunger. After the translation of the video “Myrtis” which is an initiative by Prof. Manolis J. Papagrigorakis and United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe, we decided to introduce Myrtis to Chinese children through drama classes in the primary schools. Though Myrtis was not familiar to Chinese children, the story attracted the children immediately, and caused their thinking to the current pandemic which they are living in. It would be helpful for the children to see the influences of the pandemic to their lives, to see the changes on their future, to understand the world.

‘ We are working online, using an education platform, and for this specific project we used a digital tool to create the sand paintings, in an abstract style. The project is a success because even the students who wouldnt't usually engage during lessons were fascinated by the process of creating the artwork, choosing the colors, thinking about the composition, and so on’. Delia Andrea Groller

In celebration of the Lunar New Year, STEPS collaborated with lead artist PUFF Paddy, and two emerging artistic facilitators from OCAD University to facilitate and develop a community engaged public art installation for the Chinatown BIA (Business Improvement Association). Through four intergenerational community art workshops to engage, over 100 lanterns were created.

Yue Moon was designed to unite the Chinatown community together while exploring a contemporary approach to the traditional art of lantern making. Over three weeks STEPS engaged over 100 participants ranging in age from 2 to 80+ in four community workshops. Each lantern created during the workshops collectively formed the final public art installation unveiled as part of the Chinatown BIA Lunar New Year celebrations at Dragon City Mall. The results of this project created a space for community members and artists to connect, contribute, and express themselves in their community through a unique public artwork and collaborative experience.

The content was developed by following researcher and elementary school teachers : Eun-young Lee, Yu-shin Park, Jeong-yu Park, Sung-hwan Lim, Hoe-jin Chung, Do-haeng Chung, Eun-ji Ko. The purpose of this application development is to focus on elementary school students seeing and exploring art works in a contemporary(time and space and sense)space. Students experience a virtual reality space with their V.R device or smart device. In this space, students develop the ability to appreciate factors surrounding the work in three dimensions, contextually and comprehensively, such as the artist's emotions, stories, and connections between works.

I was commissioned by Multistory, to respond creatively to 'Stories in Isolation'. I'm a full-time art teacher and in lockdown found myself drawn to performing in my house rather than the classroom! ‘Tipton Meshes’, is a performative reflection that captures traces of isolation in the domestic space. Collaborating with artist and filmmaker, Joseph Potts, the experimental film portrays the contradictory feelings in isolation. The photomontages accompanied by text echo the three-minute films psychological journey of loneliness, emotional freedom and the desire for human connection.
