The theme of VADEA’s 2022 conference is ‘Confluxus’ and invites presenters  to reflect on how they have inscribed new paths and points of inflection in developing teaching and learning programs, case studies, units of work and areas of research. Areas of investigation could reference the following prompts but are not limited to these:

Presentations can be delivered as an individual or in groups and in various ways and time-slots:

* 30 minute presentations of newly devised units of work that link to the conference theme by being revisionist, inclusive and visionary. They can come in the form of units of work that make explicit links between artmaking and case studies, teaching and learning strategies focusing on critical and historical investigations of artists’ practice, and/or case studies

* 1 hour artmaking presentation that reflects the presenters own classroom practice

* 2 hour workshop that builds upon the educators/participants own artmaking practice and skill development in the classroom

* 15 minute presentation of a research paper or new artist study that explores visual arts syllabus content, teaching and learning strategies focusing on critical and historical investigations of artists’ practice, units of work and/or case studies OR contemporary art education curriculum issue
