AEF website: There are two useful links on the AEF website with teaching resources: lesson plans and other teaching aids and online resources such as "Talking Heads", "My place Australia Asia" and "Secondary Arts Activities"

Talking Heads

Primary and secondary students are invited to a) create a visual portrait of an older person – a parent, grandparent or friend – and b) record that person's memories of key events and milestones in their life in the form of an interview. When a number of Talking Heads portraits are collected, they constitute a fascinating gallery of imagery and social history, providing wonderful opportunities for learning and discussion activities, either within classrooms or between schools both within Australia and overseas. The site includes the Templates for the activity and many examples of students' work. These activities can help students to discover other cultures and ways of seeing the world.
